„Słowo nie daje spać”. Ironiczna autoreferencjalność w Ręce pszczelarza Tomasza Różyckiego
„The word doesn’t let you sleep.” Ironic self-referentiality in Tomasz Różycki’s Ręka pszczelarza (Bee-Keeper’s Hand)

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the way Tomasz Różycki thematises the poem formation and points to the sources of poetry in his volume Ręka pszczelarza (Bee-Keeper’s Hand). The conventionality of language, dependence on literary myths, and the alternating aestheticisaton and brutalisation of reality in the act of poetic recording are subject to an autothematic reflection. The lyrical I’s distance to poem-forming manoeuvres is reflected in a disturbed syntax and self-degrading images. The volume’s self-ironic protagonist balances on the edge of pathos and grotesque, remaining profoundly dependent on tradition, as disclosed in the intertextual layer of the volume.
