Mieczyslaw Jagoszewski (1897-1987), journalist, essayist and poet who used numerous pseudonyms (e.g., Dr. Sylwester Podolski, Jagosz, Aleksy Orłów). Writing for Lodz magazines in the interwar period, he also created "frivolous" poems, which he wrote in refined Old Polish. It was these that got him into trouble and he was accused of pornography, and reportedly only Pilsudski's intervention saved his skin.
