Dlaczego wierszem? Dwanaście stacji i Ijasz Tomasza Różyckiego
Why in Verse? Dwanaście stacji and Ijasz by Tomasz Różycki

Summary/Abstract: The focus of this analysis are two verse epic poems by Tomasz Różycki: Twelve Stations (2004) and Ijasz (2021). Both works were initially written in prose and only later divided into long, unmetricised verses. This research is focused on the motivations behind lying behind this decision, and its aesthetic effects. To answer the question „Why in verse?” I use the tools of literary studies, and versology, but also considers the reader’s and writer’s praxis, reconstructed from Różycki’s own commentaries.
