The author of the sketch presents W. Szymborska’s poetry, searching for its essence in post-October (1956) “I don’t know”, brought from the therapeutic function (genetically anti-socialist-realist) to the cafe attitude consequently realized by the poet, and even the entertaining one (Rymowanki dla dużych dzieci... / Rhymes for Big Kids). In addition, in the text this strategy (more epistemological than social) underwent a trial of reality, i.e. the confrontation with death. All that has been done, so that inthe ending it could be placed in the context of what, in an overly high-flown way, can be called history (theory) of art according to Wisława Szymborska.

The article critically considers Wiesław Myśliwski’s play "Drzewo" [The Tree], the most important text of Polish post-war dendrological literature. The play is viewed as a typical example of the symbiotic-cum-toxic relationship between Poland and its literature, a relationship that also influences the way the world of plants is represented in other Polish literary texts. The situation in this particular case changed after 1989. These days we observe a genuine expansion of ecocriticism and its political consequences, notably in the works of Olga Tokarczuk. Apart from her writings, dendrological tropes are represented in Polish contemporary literature in the texts of Andrzej Stasiuk, Michał Witkowski, Wojciech Wencel, Jan Leończuk, and Andrzej Sapkowski. The taxonomy of all their dendrological tropes seems as urgent to be conducted as it is, in fact, impossible to achieve.

Autor analizuje i interpretuje najważniejszy literacki tekst dendrologiczny polskiej literatury powojennej, czyli dramat Drzewo Wiesława Myśliwskiego. Rozpoznaje go jako typowy przykład symbiotyczno-toksycznego związku między Polską i literaturą, decydującego także o tym, jak funkcjonuje w polskiej literaturze świat roślin. Sytuacja zmienia się po roku 1989. Jej konsekwencją jest dzisiejsza, ekologiczna i polityczna ekspansja ekokrytyki, którą najskuteczniej reprezentują utwory Olgi Tokarczuk. Obok nich pojawiają się w tekście inne dendrologiczne tropy  reprezentowane w polskiej literaturze współczesnej między innymi przez teksty Andrzeja Stasiuka, Michała Witkowskiego, Wojciecha Wencla, Jana Leończuka i Andrzeja Sapkowskiego. Próba ich uporządkowania wydaje się zarówno potrzebna, jak i nieskuteczna.

The author of the paper wonders why nobody so far has attempted a historical-literary synthesis of Polish literature concerning the concentration camp experience in general, and the labour camp experience in particular, as the latter has an obvious potential for a proto-synthesis. The question is followed by subjective answers that build upon the significance of Tadeusz Borowski’s prose, the uniqueness of the Holocaust, and differences between the records of the camp experience in Poland and abroad. In its central part, the paper points to a certain possibility at our disposal to – irrespective of almost insurmountable obstacles – at least start the aforementioned synthesis. This can be done by the application of the external criteria: historical-geographical (what camps, when and where) and historical-literary, which would include such perspectives and categories as periodization, literary genres and comparative studies.

The author of the text poses questions why there has never been a historical and literary synthesis regarding Polish camp literature, Lager-themed in particular, as Gulag literature possesses at least protosyntheses. He presents his answers which refer to the significance of Tadeusz Borowski’s camp prose, the exceptionality of the Holocaust, and the differences in recording the camp experience domestically and during emigration. What is most important in the article is the indication of the opportunities available today, regardless of the virtually impossible to overcome difficulties, for at least a preliminary synthesis of Polish camp literature to exist. The starting point for that postulate is the application of external criteria: historical-geographical (which camps, when and where?), and historical and literary considering such categories and study perspectives as periodisation, genology, and comparative study.
