Summary/Abstract: The article reflects upon the record and its meaning in the poetry of Klara Nowakowska. By analyzing the italicized parts in terms of syntax, lexis, rhythm as well as their position in the text, the author of the article presents their diversity and explains the typographical distinctions. It leads to deeper reflections upon the poem as a graphical text and to the analogy between a poetic utterance and a musical piece.
