„Życie z kropką u nogi”. Poetyckie renarracje Wisławy Szymborskiej
„Living with a full stop at one’s feet”. Poetic re-narrations of Wisława Szymborska

Summary/Abstract: The narrative way of seeing the world confronted with the poetic form is characteristic of Wisława Szymborska’s poems. A short story is not only linked with discovering and understanding the reality but also with creating the individual identity. The article presents the variety of types and the evolution of Szymborska’s narrative techniques emphasizing their cognitive and ethical sphere. Her poetry is understood as the individual re-narration of the great story of life, which neither explains nor organises anything, yet is necessary for the lyrical subject to exist consciously. The poet’s auto-reflective narrative gesture adds to the metaphysical dimension and as such simultaneously becomes the expression of opposition to nothingness.
