Skrzydlaty kształt. „Intersemiotyczna eschatologia” Głosów Jana Polkowskiego

In this article, I will deal with the problem of interdependence between poetic imaging and photography on the example of one poem from the volume Głosy [Voices] by Jan Polkowski voice and the cover photo by Marysia Gąsecka. The comparative analysis will also include analyzes and interpretations of other works by Jan Polkowski, as well as a discussion of the problems of reading space, architecture, and word-and-picture interactions, also present in the works of other authors. Starting from the assumptions of the aforementioned researcher, in my deliberations I will shift the emphasis on literary strategy, which is a poetic epithet even more strongly towards new artistic experiments. Polkowski’s poems certainly share many of the classic concepts of ekphrasis, but in the volume Głosy, the author incorporates narrative texts into another semiotics of linear lyric (sic!). By giving intersemiotic reflections of the poetic dominant, Gąsecka gives a voice to the photographs, and allows the narratives in the poems to comment and comment on what was shown in the photographs.
