Summary/Abstract: In Stanisław Grochowiak’s poetry the existence of woman is marked with death since a man does a fruitful metaphorical hunting to catch a weak, emaciated heroine identified with his prey. Eventually, the remnants of the prey are conserved and shaped into a poetic form to serve as aesthetic food. Hunting metaphors unfold the essence of women objectification as seen by the author of Black grouse-hunting.
