Świadek pęknięcia. Polsko-niemieckie pogranicze w poezji Marka Lobo Wojciechowskiego

Marek Lobo Wojciechowski is a Lubusz writer intereseted in heterotopia phenomenon of the Western Lands of Poland. He attempts to understand and describe the Polish-German history of the place. This article is composed of two parts. First part concerns the image of the city that is presented in Wojciechowski’s poems. It is a place marked with the traces of its previous inhabitants. The second part shows the space of “post-Yalta Occident” in microscale: a house and things being inside. My goal is to answer the question whether the vision of Gorzów in this output is the image of two superimposed cities with palimpsest nature, or a merged city with dualistic nature

Fotografia jako medium poetyckiego doświadczenia miasta w wierszach Joanny Ziembińskiej-Kurek

Photography as the medium of a poetic experience of the city in Joanna Ziembińska-Kurek’s output   Writings of Joanna Ziembińska-Kurek revolve around the theme of space. The Lubusz poet tries to recognize and understand the past of the place, thus discovering her own self. The photography is a medium in two ways: firstly, it is a bridge between the old and the current image of the place, secondly it strengthens the man’s relationship with the city. The poet reflects on the fate of the man and its significance in the context of the transformation of space. The first part of the article shows the literary image of Zielenzig before 1945. Its description in Ziembińska-Kurek’s texts is inspired by black-and-white photographs. The second part explores the contemporary Sulęcin. A conventional dividing line is year 1945 – the end of World War II and the resulting shift of the Polish border to the West. What means of poetical expression does Ziembińska use to familiarize old German places? How does she translate photographs into literature? – the article answers these and other questions

“Around the nut shell, we are stuck in”. A home and a city in Agnieszka Leśniewska’s output

This article deals with the motif of the home and the city in the Lubusz poet’s writ-ing. The triad separated from Agnieszka Leśniewska’s poems and consisting of a grain – a nut – ash determines the existential experience of the poet, her relationship with the place, and the existence and the transformating of the matter. The nut, the basic meta-phor of these poems, is the model of being in the world which determinants are: inacces-sibility, depressiveness, insularity and marginality, but also a figure including the home and the city. The article is composed of two integral parts. The first section concerns the way of presenting the home (it is compared to the nut shell). The following section at-tempts to describe the space of the city

“You are not walking in the void”: a phenomenological perception of the world in the poems of Czesław Sobkowiak

Summary One of the most recognizable poets of Lubusz Land, Czesław Sobkowiak, is possessed of remarkable sensitivity when it comes to perceptions of nature. His search for the essence and truth of existence places his work in the area of phenomenological influences. Since the poet’s focus is firmly on natural environment, that variety of phenomenology could be called as ecophenomenology. That sensitivity can be described by means of the following defining terms: the essence of the quotidian can be reached via illumination; change of perspective is a technique for achieving epiphany; one is included in the mystery of existence by light; reality is perceived in motion; the perspective from which to write is geocentric; and, humanity and nature are in a chiasmatic relation to each other
