Summary/Abstract: The article is a discussion on two volumes of the journal MiroFor. Its authors, experts in Białoszewski’s work, present new perspectives of research on the oeuvre of the creator of Memoir from the Warsaw Uprising. After the poet’s death, many unknown works – unpublished during his lifetime – were published, which shed new light on his oeuvre. In the light of the new sensitivity and new methodologies, Białoszewski’s work turns out to still be important, up-to-date and attractive to readers. Themes such as war trauma, homosexuality, autobiographism gain a new illumination. The volumes also present unknown transcripts of recordings and archival materials. This is valuable material for researchers and admirers of Białoszewski. Both volumes of MiroFor are presented as a valuable and inspiring invitation to a joint conversation about Miron Białoszewski’s work.
