Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the poetic output of priest Janusz Pasierb as a homosexual text (in the view of German Ritz) which is antithetically complemented with the poet’s erstwhile reception interpreted in accordance with priestly poetry topos. In the suggested approach, the main figure in Pasierb’s poetry is epiphany of a handsome boy juxtaposed with his youth to the poems’ speaking subject―a middle-aged homosexual man.
