Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of sound thematization in poetry in the context of the general poetics of literary space. Sound is a spatio-temporal category, and the conceptual apparatus that was created to describe and interpret it is related to the aesthetics of space, even at the level of the name itself. There are sound spheres suggesting that sounds reach the audience from all sides, as well as soundscapes, referring directly to the poetics of “looking at a picture”, but composed of sounds. The aim of the article was to distinguish the basic types of such poetic soundscapes and to try to prove the usefulness of this division on literary examples.
