Summary/Abstract: The article attempts a sympoietic reading of Julia Fiedorczuk’s texts. Sympoietic texts (a term proposed by Donna Haraway and used in relation to literature by Aleksandra Ubertowska) are distinguished by a balance of two elements. On the one hand, we have to look at the world through the prism of the biotic grid. On the other hand, this perspective exposes human exploitation of the more‑than‑human world and the beings participating in it for the sake of one’s own anthropoegoistic benefits. The ecofeminism of this poetry also remains an important element in this reading.
