In 1954–1957 Bursa worked as a journalist and reporter for the Krakow newspaper Dziennik Polski. Many of his contemporaries attributed his early death at the age of 25 to suicide, while the true cause of it was a congenital heart disease. He was buried at the Rakowicki Cemetery.
Bursa published his first poem in 1954.
A prolific writer, he published 37 poems and a short story in different magazines during his lifetime. He died of a heart attack in 1957.
Shortly thereafter, his first poetry collection was published, an important event in Polish poetry.
