Pragnienie niemożliwego. Uwagi o wyobraźni poetyckiej Wojciecha Kassa

Abstract

This sketch is an attempt to characterise the poetic imagination of Wojciech Kass. The context for the considerations is constituted by the categories of imaginativeness and imitation, whose mutual relation is observed on the example of selected poems. In his interpretation the author tries to prove that this lyric has always oscillated between the pole of mimesis and the pole of creation. At the same time he relates the discussed categories to the keywords indicated in the poems of Wojciech Kass, which allows him to determine not only the literary and cultural source of this poetry, but also to analyse the most significant elements of poetic imagery.
