Kontrowersje w poezji Lucyny Skompskiej

Abstract

The article discusses the potentiality which regulates or disturbs the flow of events in the poetry of Lucyna Skompska. The accidental character of events as well as the controversies demonstrating themselves in the book of poetry Farby wodne [water colours] resemble, on the one hand, the technique of water colours, and, on the other, point to a characteristic strand of Skompska’s works, which is attempting to show the possibility and impossibility. The most significant background for the reflections is the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben, who analyzes the conduct of Bratleby, a copyist from Melville’s short story. The scribe’s weakness morphs into an ambivalent literary experience, and the poems connote “dead letters” sent out to the world.
