Polish-Czech Group of Poets '97 () was a Polish group poets founded in 1997 by Krzysztof Karwowski and Tomasz Leà Âniowski in Nowa Ruda (Poland).
The founders of the group were people who created the output of the Nowa Ruda Literary Club Ogma: anthologies and volumes, as well as interesting artistic and poetic events. The group focused on more intensive publishing activity and maintained mutual contacts, mainly by correspondence. The inspiration for this transformation were the words from Karol Maliszewski's poem "Perfectly Faithful Poets": "They will write something else / in 1997 you will hear about them / the resurrection of the poem will be announced".
