Puste pole
Empty Field

Summary/Abstract: The presented fragment comes from the book: Pusty Las (publishing house: Czarne, April 2019). Puste pole is the story of the author’s life in Wołowiec, a village in the Beskidy Mts., from which successive inhabitans vanished: the poor, seeking better fortune acrosss the ocean, visionary oilmen, Jews, Gypsies, and members of the Łemko community. It is also an homage paid to this place on Eartth, its history, Nature, and population. The author deciphers the Beskid Niski Mts. and Wołowiec – her place on Earth, the site of existence on memory meadow and in gaps left beind by the former inhabitants of the land of the Łemko people. These gaps and ranges of a void – invisible at first glance – appear amidst words, called by their name.
