From the Poem as an Organism that Speaks to the Poem as a Formal Multiplicity Field
Keywords:
poetry, poetics, speaking organism, critical autonomyAbstract
The text traces the author’s own theoretical inquiries about the function of the poem as an aesthetic object functioning in contemporary environments, from
the earlier concept of “a poem as a speaking organism” to the contemporary slightly modified version of this idea. The modification corresponds with the remarks made by Andrzej Sosnowski who perceives contemporary poetry as the source of a negative and impenetrable performance permanently separated from the fallen world of the society. Moving from the theory of the poem as the „speaking organism” and discussing selected poems by American poets as well as his own, the author tries to develop such a concept which would enable him to protect the critical autonomy of poetry placed within the material and “contaminated” (Sosnowski’s notion) world. This new concept of the poem departs from the theory of an acute material outline and favours the critical re-conceptualizing processes which, according to the author, should occur in the contemporary poem. Such a poem is named by the author “a formal multiply field.”
