Proza. Przyczynek do ars versificandi Marcina Świetlickiego
Prose. Remarks on Marcin Świetlicki’s Ars Versificandi

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a study on the use of prosodic forms in Marcin Świetlicki’s last book Drobna zmiana (A Small Change), which is structured as a kind of set of poetic notations written in prose (prose poems). As a matter of fact, this, as the poet says, “small change” becomes a kind of the poet’s manifesto against the cultural and political deflation of the present social and cultural life; it becomes the very sign of poetry. By using the tools developed within the theory of versification, this paper shows how the verse structures break through the surface of the prosaic syntax, evoke alternative reading strategies and create some additional meanings typical for the poetry written in verse.
