My actual name is Tadeusz Hutyra,
though for the English/American world
I have adopted the name Thaddeus Hutyra.
I am the founder of “The Poetry
Universe”, “River of Poetry” and a number
of other poetry groups on Facebook.
Born in mountainous Rajcza, Poland.
I spent my childhood and teenage years there
studying and I also participated
in the “Solidarity movement” against
the communist regime.
Emigrating to New Zealand when Poland
was still in the Soviet thaw I became a citizen
within five years, living in the capital city
Wellington, often called “Windy Wellington”.
Afterwards I travelled worldwide, I have
been to amongst other places China, though
I finally settled down in Belgium.
The USA had always been my intended final
destination after my departure from Poland.
America, especially New York City with its
Statue of Liberty still remain my dream.
The freedoms cherished by America are
an unstoppable trend that I am fully behind,
wishing the same to all individuals across
the world, freedom, human rights and love.
In the meantime I am feeling quite
comfortable living in the European Union,
a great project of all Europeans which
came true.
I express my deep wish readers will enjoy
reading this book. If it will be the case then
I will be able to say ‘Mission Accomplished’,
thank you.
