Wiersze religijne a poezja wiary. Od historii i teologii do poetyki – wokół jednego wiersza poety z „konstelacji Toposu”

Abstract

The article deals with Polish poetry of the last twenty years. The author refers to the phenomenon of religious poetry, distinguishing it from poetry referring only to Christian culture, and somehow ignoring the references to directly experienced Catholic faith. He tries to answer the question whether there are formal determinants of the poetics of poems inspired by religious imagination and sensitivity, and theological dogmas. The main part of the essay is a detailed interpretation of the poem of one of the poets from the so-called “Topos constellation” group, which the author regards as an example of the poetics of Catholic sensitivity.
