Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the human and non-human relations of the city’s inhabitants in the poetry of Ilona Witkowska. The author, using the perspective of interdisciplinary HAS (Human-Animal Studies) research, analyses individual works included in the collections of poems Splendida realta (2012) and Lucifer wins (2017), showing the links between Witkowska’s politically engaged poetry and selected threads of contemporary biopolitical thought. The author tries to show places in Witkowska’s reflection on the relationship of people and animals in urban space which can be connected with the animal turn in the humanities and political philosophy.
