Summary/Abstract: This article aims to describe the authorial identification of the genre-specific identity of Anna Kamieńska’s publications, as revealed in the prefaces of her books. The analysis covers the prefaces to five literary works: Pragnąca literatura [Desiring Literature], Od Czarnolasu [From Czarnolas], Od Leśmiana [From Leśmian], Notatnik [Notebook], and Twarze Księgi [The Faces of the Book]. The presented findings offer insights into the writer’s perspective on her own literature and highlight, on a micro-scale, the benefits of recognizing supplementary materials accompanying the texts.
