Summary/Abstract: The essay proposes a reading of Polish poet Kacper Bartczak’s collection Naworadiowa (2019) through the prism of the philosophical reflections of Catherine Malabou and Bernard Stiegler. Naworadiowa, as part of Bartczak’s original concept of “poetics of plenitude,” becomes a manifestation of the imperative of thoroughgoing rethinking of both the way in which the poetic form operates in the world’s dynamically changing technical landscape and transformations of psychopolitical reality accompanying these changes. I examine the question of plasticity of poetic form, its interaction with the social environment and potential for mobilizing psychic individuation, as well as the question of the poem’s work, seen in the context of Stiegler’s reflections on neganthropic work, that is, the individual and collective effort of transforming the landscape of the Anthropocene and inventing a new form of the sculpture of contemporary reality, defined in his philosophy as Neganthropocene.
