The article questions the post-anthropocentric ability of Joanna Pollakowna’s poems. Poet, Ph.D holder in history of art, rooted in the European culture and Christian thought (St. Augustine, St. John of the Cross, Pascal), seems to be close to the traditional values of humanism (humanisms). She takes up themes of pain and suffering, adds religious and philosophical meanings along with anthropocentric perspective inscribed so deeply into them that it is sometimes barely visible. At one time, in her work, she is looking for relationship and intimacy with non-human beings – at other times recognizing the equality of all beings towards the biological life ( zoe ). In the following text I present the selected Pollakowna’s poems representing her writing and containing reflections about animals. In this way, I try to outline the poet’s two directions of considerations of non-human beings – striving towards relationships and the delight of their impossible to tame nature. |
