Wojaczek among the youngest

In the article, the author considers ways in which representatives of the youngest generation of poets refer to the poetry of Rafał Wojaczek, pointing out that, on the one hand, the legend which has grown around this poet’s biography is something tempting and difficult at the same time, and on the other hand, in his poetics the young poets find a way to go beyond irony and towards a non-pathetic sublimity, which has a generational significance for them. According to the author, such effects of reading Wojaczek can be found today in poetry of Konrad Góra and, artistically related to him, Kamil Brewiński or Szymon Domagała-Jakuć. Andrzej Sosnowski is pointed out as an important intermediary who offers a refreshing interpretation of the poetry of the author of Inna bajka.
