Ku puencie. Uwagi o genezie dwóch utworów Anny Kamieńskiej
Towards the punch line. Notes on the genesis of two works by Anna Kamieńska

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the story of the ending of two poems by Anna Kamieńska – “When the Greats Go Away” and “You are me warm young”. The literary documents known to us allow us to find a common element of these two processes, one of which consisted in the unexpected addition of a punch line to the last known handwritten version of the poem, and the other, in the final stage of work on the work, made a record from the middle of an earlier draft. This common part is the meditative, non-rhetorical nature of the writing workshop of the mature poet. If we ignore the obvious differences between the two poems and the processes from which they emerged, a strong similarity will remain, probably a feature characteristic of the way Anna Kamieńska wrote at least from the 1960s, when the creative process was for her not so much an opportunity to find the form of thought but he was thoughtborn himself.
