Poetki wobec końca – liryka najnowsza a antropocen
Poetesses in Front of The End: Contemporary Poetry and Anthropocene

Summary/Abstract: This article considers the Anthropocene, global warming, and climate catastrophe as special challenges for humanity and as literary themes in contemporary poetry. In poems written bywomen during the last few years, these problems are presented in ways that transform our common perception and collective emotions. Interpretation of texts (written by Ewa Lipska, Marzanna Bogumiła Kielar, Julia Fiedorczuk, Urszula Zajączkowska, Justyna Bargielska, Ilona Witkowska, Małgorzata Lebda) lead to wider‑ranging results: the Anthropocene, as probably the last epoch in the history of the human world, must be perceived as a specific call for restorative activities for individuals and all mankind.
