Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the poetry of the Poznań poet Andrzej Babiński described from the perspective of the author’s biographical experiences, his work and creative worldview. The analysis covers the author’s poetic imagination and the images of the world plunged into a permanent apocalypse. In addition, it examines the image of the world that slips away from under the feet of man, resulting from the conviction about the crisis of civilization and the death of poetry, as well as the loss of values in the post-war world. Reflections on this subject are presented in the context of geopoetics, locality and catastrophism.
