Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at analysing a contemporary novel in verse Wypiór by Grzegorz Uzdański in a semiotic and versological perspective. Through deeper reflection on the affinities connecting the multiple meanings of Uzdański’s text with its verse structure considered in the context of the tradition of Romantic versification and its specific manifestations in the poetry of the author of Ballads and Romances, one can, it seems, understand the ways of today’s romanticism in the era of ongoing revolutions: communication and technology. It also seems important to indicate the genological capacity of Wypiór, manifested at different levels of literary generic. Romantic syncretism turns out to be an important plane of tradition to which the contemporary author refers.
