Bolesław Leśmian – poeta miasta (przyczynek do tematu)

Abstrakt

The essay discusses the topic of the city in Bolesław Leśmian’s poetry. Reading very few poems devoted to the city makes it possible to recognize the fragmentariness, dispersion and, in fact, absence of its image. The negative axiology and ontology of the city, expressed in Leśmian’s poetry, turns out to be an important contribution to understanding the fears and anxieties of modernity.
