Abstracts

EN

This article presents interpretations of Erwin Kruk’s late poems included into his last two volumesof poetry: Znikanie [Vanishing] and Nieobecność [Absense]. In the course of analysis, the main themesof the senile poetry are considered: memory, evanescence and death. The puer senex theme in relationto the lyrical ego also receives the author’s attention as well as the regional context of Kruk’s poetry,i.e. its connections with the history of Masuria. However, the author notices the universality of thesepoems, as they convey a message which goes far beyond the limitations of regionalism.
