Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the issue of writing about non-human animals. I place my considerations in the field of animal studies of a posthumanist nature. The research problem is the issue of writing about those who are beyond writing, beyond human speech and ways of expressing themselves. Non-human persons and relationships with them become a challenge to classical, academic ways of writing. The author presents typical ways of writing about non-human animals. Points out the limitations of dominant narrative modes. He then presents a proposal for writing with love using magical realism and poetry. The text is an attempt to develop a specific style. Metaautothnography and philosophical analysis are used. The author reflects reflectively on his autoethnographic project, where he wrote about non-human animals.
