„Poetyka fragmentu” w polskiej poezji współczesnej

Abstract

This is a study of the “poetics of an excerpt” in Polish contemporary poetry, in postwar lyrics to be precise. In order to provide a cross-sectional and panoramic view of this phenomenon, poets of diverse generations are discussed. A special attention is paid to Tadeusz Różewicz and representatives of various literary trends: the linguistic trend, the Kontynenty – literary magazine (published in London), the BruLion generation, The New Wave (Jan Polkowski), priestly poetry (Andrzej Wierciński). In this study Polkowski’s and Wierciński’s poetry is used to demonstrate the peculiarity of fragmentation. The concept of the “poetics of an excerpt” is discussed in comparison with literary tradition in its various aspects in order to reveal different types of axiology and outlook upon life. Besides, this concept is presented on the literary genetics level and juxtaposed with the “open work”.The term of the “poetics of an excerpt” is not included in the Polish Dictionary of Literary Terms in contrast to the “open work”. Besides, there are no crosssectional studies of this category. Thus, the author’s work is an attempt to fill the gap.
