Summary/Abstract: The book Fleeting Conspiracies: On the Poetry of Bogusława Latawiec presents the lyrical work of the Poznań poet, who passed away in 2021 and was the author of twelve volumes of poetry. To a wider audience, Bogusława Latawiec was primarily known as a writer of prose books. Joanna Dembińska-Pawelec directs attention to Latawiec’s poetry, unveiling the feminine aspect of her lyricism while also positioning it at the intersection of avant-garde traditions and a Bloomian fascination with the descriptive lyricism of Adam Mickiewicz and Bolesław Leśmian. This fusion of modernity and romantic imagination leads to unexpected poetic effects—fleeting encounters at the boundary of reality and imagination, memory, dreams, and metaphysics.
