Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the issue of the split that exists in the works of Karin Boye and Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska, as well as their use of the therapeutic function of nature. The lyrical heroines of these poetesses long for a safe place, which they cannot find in the modern world. Thus, they use strategies for coping with their inner struggle, i.e. “literary dissociation”. The comparative analysis of Boye’s and Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska’s works is intended to provide an insight into their approaches to dissociation and how it is used in specific poetic texts.
