Ironiczny duch wersyfikacji. O książce Pawła Bukowca „Metronom. O jednostkowości poezji »nazbyt« rytmicznej”.
Ironical spirit of versification

Summary/Abstract: The article is an overview of Paul Bukowiec’s book titled Metronome. About the individuality of “too rhythmic” poetry (Jagiellonian University, Cracow 2015), which on the one hand is the literary theoretical versological manifesto, and on the other hand – the original proposal how to read three texts: Comments on death inevitable and common to all expressed in poems by Jozef Baka (1766), Ball in Opera by Julian Tuwim (1946) and Nothing twice by Wislawa Szymborska (1957). An original concept to transfer into the field of versification the category of individuality poetry by Derek Attridge, becomes here a contribution to the critical reflection on the history and condition of contemporary Polish theory of verse, which is entering the culturally oriented post-structural stage, as well as on the potential poetological practice centred around interpretation of the specific poetical cases.
