TI - Conversations “in Poems and on Poems”
AB - The subject of reflection in this paper is the epistolary dialogue between Czesław Miłosz and Tadeusz Różewicz about their writings. It is expressed not only in direct opinions and evaluations of individual works, but also in the preliminary, later modified versions of poems that are found in the letters, all of which allows us to look at the relationship of the two poets from a slightly different perspective. Miłosz, who in the era of Socialist Realism played the role of mentor to Różewicz, over time transforms into his insightful reader and polemicist. Różewicz matures from his role as a student, gradually turning into an equal partner. Both emphasize in their friendly and long-lasting epistolary dialogue the similarities and differences in their worldviews and their poetic practices. Of particular importance in this respect are Miłosz’s poems – “Różewicz” and “Unde malum,” and Różewicz’s – “Myrmekologia (dalszy ciąg bajki o Guciu zaczarowanym)” and “Zaćmienie światła.” While Miłosz remains the poet of antinomy, Różewicz seems to be the poet of paradox.
