In 1984, Adam Kulawik, one of the most eminent researchers amongst the Polish theoreticians of versification, published a revolutionary article The principle of verse organization. He showed a completely new approach to the understanding of the versification system, metrics and so on. In fact, his article created a new paradigm of verse-thinking further elaborated in other books by Kulawik (e.g. Verse Theory 1995, Versification 1999). The goal of this article is to show the influence and after-effects of Kulawik’s works on the contemporary Polish verse theory.
