Summary/Abstract: The review discusses Andrzej Sulikowski’s book which is a peculiar guide to priest Jan Twardowski’s private homeland. Though the book speaks indirectly about Twardowski’s poems, it might become an important context for their interpretation. The album in question bears the characteristics of a diary of meetings. Sulikowski precisely sets his observations in time, reconstructs the reality of the travel to Warsaw, the ways to the Visitation Nuns nunnery, and the aura of his private discussions with the writer. Above all, Sulikowski proves to be a subtle observer of topography and an inquisitive seeker of the meanings the poet assigned to particular places and object he tamed.
