DIFFERENT KAMIEŃSKA. FROM A WHITE MANUSCRIPT TO KAMIEŃSKA´S LAST POEM
The article discusses the origins of one of the most renown poetic volumes by Anna Kamieńska, A White Manuscript. Today, the history of this book can be reconstructed only partially, on the basis of two poetic notebooks from 1968–1970. Reading A White Manuscript in the context of those two manuscripts makes it possible to see the metamorphoses of particular poems (e.g. blurring of the tropes leading to cycles appearing inside the volume); it also allows us to discover that at the end of the 1960s there appeared in Kamieńska’s verses motifs that became important in her later poetry. It was while the poet was working on A White Manuscript that her fully original vision of corporeality emerged, together with a poetic image which received its defi nitive shape in Kamieńska’s last poem.

https://doi.org/10.4467/2084395XWI.17.004.7114Although much has been said on the Dresden Dziady by Adam Mickiewicz, a lot of points still remain to be explained. One of the keys to the world of the drama has been provided by the studies on its genesis. Of interest to me is a certain surprising detail in one of the hand-written versions of the scene entitled Senator’s Dream. This strange detail helps to explain what happens or might have happened to a character of the Dresden Dziady during sleep. It also brings us to a reconsideration of Mickiewicz’s demonology.
