abstract = {The article is an attempt at an affective reading of poems by Wisława Szymborska, who was sensitive to poetic methods and strategies of building the mental fabric of poems, creating relations of intimacy, and accentuating the tensions, emotions and moods. The essence of the emotionalism of this poetry lies in the difference between affection and affectation. Some avant-garde inspirations of Szymborska are discussed. The author of the article proposes also to read this poetry in the context of Mikhail Bakhtin’s category of “co-presence,” termed by Tzvetan Todorov as “exotopy.” Early poems by Szymborska are confronted with her later poetry, and the central meeting point are the empathy and mindfulness with which the poet treats the described characters. The author of the article focuses particularly on numerous references to the dead, who in Szymborska’s poetry function as “figures of absence.”
