He currently works as the headmaster of VI Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Janusza Korczaka (the Janusz Korczak High School no. 6) in Sosnowiec.
Paweł Lekszycki’s work has usually been discussed by critics in the context of his double Polish/Silesian identity, and his association with the Silesian poetry group “Na Dziko”. The author’s poems have been translated into German, Czech and Russian, and included in many anthologies.
