Loving accuracy: reading the poems of Marcin Świetlicki (transcript of an oral essay)

Author(s): Paweł Próchniak
Subject(s): Literary Texts, Poetry
Published by: Uniwersytet Adama Mickiewicza
Keywords: Marcin Świetlicki; contemporary Polish poetry; interpretation

Summary/Abstract: The author presents a comprehensive interpretation of Marcin Świetlicki’s poetry, emphasizing the modeling role of the gesture of opening the poet’s creative path and highlighting the key threads and figures of imagination that organize his work. At the same time, he presents a strategy of reading that – performatively, thanks to interpretive passages – resonates with Świetlicki›s poetic practice and allows the modalities of his poems to resound, which are founded on the existentially rooted forms of “presence” and related presentations of the “voice” with them. The form of the spoken essay used by Próchniak also serves to capture these registers of the poetry of the author of Schizma.
