The garden of poetic tradition. Some remarks on the "Sunset in Milanówek" by Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz

Abstract

The garden of poetic tradition. Some remarks on the "Sunset in Milanówek" by Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz The considerations revolve around the issues of the poetics of the texts by Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz from his collection “Sunset in Milanówek”. Particularly interesting is the strategic connection of the poetic structure of the line, blatantly banal, with the same broadly defined stylistic aspect and eschatological themes. The article tries to show the wisdom and desirability of combining the overly simple form with the "high" note of the subject matter, oscillating around issues of final character – passing, death, old age. The author is willing to consider such actions as a modern method of presentation – distanced, full of irony /self-depreciation – weighty topics, but repetitive. It is like a poetic defence against the trivial: through the maximum disclosure of banality – a departure from the banality.
