Why does Miłosz so often suggest in his poetry that he has concealed something essential from his readers? What is the intended meaning of the frequent phrase of Miłosz’s: if only I told you all about myself? Why this persistent reference to some unnamed feature, truth, wisdom, revelation? Is this, as some critics tend to believe, a part of a creative strategy, some sort of a subversive play with the reader? Is this a strategy employed in order to create a dark counter¬ argument to luminous poetry of grateful existence? Or is it, as the author of the article suggests, a deliberate strategy to entice the reader to undertake a meticulous contemplation of Miłosz’s attitude towards the social function of poetry? Sabo suggests that Miłosz, who due to historical and social reasons, put so much stress on the utility aspect of the poetic vocation, was actually a poet who was most interested in a pure poetry unyoked from any specific cause, except the cause of relentless expression of gratitude.

The paper attempts to form a subjective judgment of literary events taking place in Poland after 1990. The author shares his observations on the literary works of Polish prose writers (Pilch, Karpowicz, Kuczok) focusing the reader’s attention on Joanna Bator’s novel Ciemno, prawie noc. The language of artistic expression becomes the main point of reference. On the basis of the analysis of these two prose works we put forward a thesis that post-Gombrowiczan language: the language of derision, grotesque, baroque elaborateness, has lost its popularity and now it is covering the reality rather than uncovering it. In turn, at the other extreme one may find Andrzej Stasiuk’s Opowieści galicyjskie. These are texts, narrations and stories which are suitable for reading; they can either delight or outrage. They stand on their own merits, so they do not need excessive analyses which interfere with the pleasure of reading.
