Apokaliptyczny portret Jerozolimy w tomie Doroty Szatters Warszawskie Jeruzalem

Abstract

In his article, Michał Siedlecki examines the apocalyptic portrait of Warsaw’s Jerusalem in the poetry of Dorota Szatters. The researcher assumes here that the concept of the word in the poet’s texts resembles to some extent the structure of catastrophic creativity from the interwar period, with its conviction of the inevitable as well as imminent destruction that threatens the modern world, especially the traditions, institutions and values of European culture. The presented works by Szatters describe one of the most tragic events in the history of the Polish-Jewish nation. This is an apocalypse that we must never forget, a hell we cannot be indifferent to. Thanks to this, the world may become at least a little better one day.
