The literary criticism in Poland was largely determined by then by the discourse of the academic literary studies. Furthermore – the most prominent voice in the poetical and critical dialog with Miłobędzka – Tymoteusz Karpowicz being the neoavantgarde poet himself – carried out the reading that was depending on his philosophical reading of Heideggerian phenomenology. Certain pattern of understanding Miłobędzka’s work, created at large by Karpowicz’s text Metafora otwarta (An Open Metaphor) seems to be neglecting certain thesis posited by Miłobędzka herself as an author of many meta-poetical statements, that could be read as the late avantgarde manifesto of her own.
