Summary/Abstract: The author of the article is focused on those of the places in Stanisław Barańczak’s poetry, in which the subject is revealed and the fact that the sender is the poet, who creates in statu nascendi and at the same time reflects on the essence of this process, is emphasize. These are obviously the self-reference procedures, directly related to perfecting his own poetic workshop. In the case of Barańczak those threads are also transferred on the self epistemology area, which means that they are involved with the identification of the subjects own identity, which is worth of interpreting precisely as an self-reference procedure. Selfreference at this point is being expanded only in a manner of pretense: it is absolutely important to remember that the “self-recognition” making subject is exactly the poet. The key figure to the topic taken in this way will be the doppelganger (and bond to this issue mirror theme). The exemplification material will be given by both early Korekta twarzy, and the subsequent volumes of Barańczak’s poetry.
