Dzika natura Mirona Białoszewskiego
Miron Białoszewski’s Wild Nature

Summary/Abstract: In the second half of the 1970s, Miron Białoszewski lived in a block of flats on Lizbońska Street in Warsaw. His work from that period is dense with the names of flowers, trees, weeds, shrubs, as well as descriptions of practices related to them: collecting plants on the wild meadows and arranging them into spectacular bouquets in his flat, spontaneous outings to fetch flowers in the villages surrounding the city, buying flowers from street vendors. Karpowicz examines the wealth of plants in the poet’s late work. This is contextualized with Białoszewski’s output as a whole, his biography and topobiography, and finally the characteristics of urban spaces of his era. Karpowicz finally points out the coincidence between Białoszewski’s aesthetic project and the most recent theoretical approaches to new ecosystems.
