„Wszystko przemienione”. O cyklu wierszy na Wielki Tydzień z tomu Ruchome święta Krzysztofa Kuczkowskiego

Abstract

The collection of Krzysztof Kuczkowski’s poems entitled “Ruchome święta” (A Movable Feast) was published in the series of the ‘Topos Library’ in 2017 as volume No. 137. The dominant feature is poetic maximalism, binding literature, epistemology and theology. The central point of the volume is placed in a set of works constituting a semantic whole. The artist created an apocryphal poem with the characteristics of generic syncretism. Poetic phrases spread over the triad: mortification – the cross – mercy that unites the person of Christ. The context of Holy Week strengthens the meaning of each element that makes up the history of salvation. The presence in the semantic sequence of an ordinary man, illuminated and described by a metaphysical word, confirms the sense of individual being. The whole metaphorical story by Krzysztof Kuczkowski written in the poems of Holy Week becomes a hymn of thanksgiving for the sacrifice of Christ, who brightened the darkness of human existence. It is a theological parable of the poet, encrusted with the personal motif of the artist’s spirituality, his testimony of transfiguration.
