Sportowiec, święty i jogin. Życia po życiu poezji Anny Świrszczyńskiej w globalnej kulturze wellness
Athlete, Saint, Yogi: The Afterlives of Anna Świrszczyńska’s Poetry in Global Wellness Culture

Summary/Abstract: The article argues that Anna Świrszczyńska’s poetry has been appropriated within global wellness culture as a discourse of self-care, supporting neoliberal frameworks of physical and spiritual self-improvement. It examines the traces of yoga in the poet’s biography and the somatic-metaphysical dimension of her work, with particular focus on the poem Mówię do swego ciała (I Speak to My Body). Adopting a cultural studies perspective, the analysis combines approaches from new spirituality studies, critiques of neoliberalism, and research on yoga. The material includes translations, anthologies, and reception practices in yoga studios and on Instagram between 2017 and 2025.
