The Young Zagłębie group of artists was established in 1933. The members – poets, writers and plastic artists – dedicated themselves to distributing original and groundbreaking art. Over the years, the group published three poetry and prose anthologies: "Gerangel" (Struggle, 1933), "Baytshen" (Whips, 1935), and the present anthology, "Yung Zagłębie" (1936). All three anthologies with cover linocuts illustrations by Zygmunt S. Boim.
