Summary/Abstract: Article titled „Absorbing life to the fullest” – the subject as a „prop”( towards existence) in the poetry of Natalia Dzierżkówna presents the strategies of the lytic subject in the poetry of the artist from Podolia, the stages of overcoming the fears of existence, and the existence of a „prop” in a world perceived as a palimpsest (a large prop room). Natalia Dzierżkówna’s poetic work is vitalistic and dominated by figures such as repetition, paradox, chiasm, which describe ways of coping with the experience of internal imprisonment. An alternative to the existence of a „prop”, a unreflective ex istence among other „props”, include the processes of self-improvement and creativity. These are important components of modern vitalism, which foreshadowed twentieth-century perspectivism.
