Echa transcendentalizmu amerykańskiego w poezji Kazimierza Brakonieckiego

Abstract

This article is an attempt to examine the influence of American transcendentalism on the poetry of Kazimierz Brakoniecki. In the individual stanzas of Las warmiński [Warmian Forest] the author discovers traces of the thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David-Thoreau and Walt Whitman. Moreover, the author considers whether the sources of his poetry should not be sought in the texts of Kenneth White, author of the concepts of geopoetics and cosmopoetics, whose poems Brakoniecki translated.
