Poezja „w ruchu”. O dwóch „Elegiach” Tadeusza Różewicza

The author of this article discusses the textual changes in the subsequent publications of Tadeusz Różewicz’s two Elegie [Elegies] in the context of the artistic phenomenon of poetry “in motion”, also indicating the consequences of these changes. She agrees with the poet that the poem is a frequent phenomenon, while poetry is an extremely rare construct. Poetry, in contrast to the poem, does not, according to Różewicz, have a beginning and an end. In our times, therefore, it is not the finished form of a given poem that counts for a potential recipient, but the very process that forms a given text. Therefore, only poetry “in motion”, heading towards the unknown, still makes sense.
