Wiersze na macie. O tomie Om Joanny Roszak
Poems on the Mat: On Joanna Roszak’s Om

Summary/Abstract: The article begins with an interpretation of meanings evoked by the cover, which functions as an emblem of the volume as a whole. This framing introduces a “yogic” mode of reading, understood as a practice of heightened attentiveness that enables a close, almost micro-level engagement with the text. Such a reading leads to the recognition of a central idea running throughout the volume: that every element of the world manifests a single absolute reality, simultaneously concealed within and revealed through the multiplicity of existence. In this context, yoga is not treated as a fashionable form of exercise but as a profound spiritual experience. Roszak seeks ways to articulate meditative experience through poetic means, drawing on traditions such as haiku, paradoxical language, and various linguistic devices. The metatextual dimension of the poems is thus inseparable from the practice of yoga that informs them.
