==History and profile== ''Brulion'' was established by a group led by Robert Tekieli in Kraków in 1986.<ref name="Phillips2013">{{cite book|author=Ursula Phillips|title=Polish Literature in Transformation|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fFNeAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA252|accessdate=10 November 2014|date=25 January 2013|publisher=LIT Verlag Münster|isbn=978-3-643-90289-4|page=252}}</ref><ref name=mathe>{{cite book|author1=Matthias Schwartz|author2=Heike Winkel|title=Eastern European Youth Cultures in a Global Context|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rWT-CgAAQBAJ&pg=PA162|accessdate=24 April 2016|edition=mathe|date=30 November 2015|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|isbn=978-1-137-38513-0|page=162}}</ref> The magazine, published quarterly, ceased publication in 1999.<ref name=Phillips2013/>
Its editor in chief was also Robert Tekieli. Originally a quarterly of the alternative and semi-legal Polish culture, it became known for respecting no taboos and producing scandals since its ninth issue, thus becoming the voice of the underground, anti-communist Poland.
The generation of ''Brulion'' writers was influenced mainly by American poets like Frank O'Hara (that is why they're often called ''o´harists''), Allen Ginsberg or John Ashbery, translated by Pietr Sommer. Another translator, Stanisław Barańczak, introduced to Poland the poetry of Philip Larkin, W. H. Auden, Robert Frost and others.
''Brulion'' published, among others, an almanac named {{lang|pl|Przyszli barbarzyńci}} ({{translation|Future barbarians}}; the title comes from a poem by Cavafy). Therefore, the ''Brulion'' generation is also known as the ''barbarians''.<ref name="mathe"/>
