W obu z nich kluczową rolę odgrywa metafora cykania-tykania, przywołująca a...
Artykuł stanowi próbę rekonstrukcji poetyki wczesnych tekstów Krystyny Miłobędzkiej. Głównym przedmiotem zamieszczonych w nim analiz jest tom "Spis z natury", powstający w pierwszej połowie lat sześćdziesiątych XX wieku jako poetycki debiut, lecz wówczas nieopublikowany.

Reexamining Julian Kornhauser’s early poetic and prose work, Bogalecki highlights the many references to the Jewish religious tradition and the key role they play. The metaphor of Marranism allows Bogalecki to show that Judaism is a hidden tradition in Kornhauser’s work of the mid1970s. It appears in veiled form in his debut poetry collection Nas...

by Piotr Sommer, from the volume Dni i noce (2009), and Miron Białoszewski’s poem from 1961,
starting with the words kochać taka sztuka. In both of them, the key role is played by the metaphor
of chirping-ticking, evoking the ancient metaliterary topos o...
Artykuł stanowi próbę porównania eksperymentalnych działań artystycznych kompozytora Bogusława Schäffera i poety Witolda Wirpszy podejmowanych niezależnie od siebie w latach 60. XX wieku. W dorobku tego pierwszego zwrócono uwagę na rolę i sposoby wykorzystania słowa w jego graficznych partyturach; postanowiono tezę, że partyturę S·alto na saksofon...

Foster's propositions), is dedicated to the oeuvre of three notable scholars of concrete poetry in Poland. Even though the theoretical...
