The Polish poet Szczepan Kopyt and the French-speaking Belgian poet Vincent Tholomé craftily take part in the poetical discourse on the contemporary world (the barbaric and the civilized) as well as literature (high and low). They experiment with the printed word and the new formulas of hip-hop and rap in their modifiability and potentiality, which is also expressed in the constantly changing locus poeticus. Yet the barbarity of the formula never equals the barbarity of the author. Finally, truly barbaric poetry, as long as it is authentic, does not exist, in contrast with the depicted barbarity. Thus barbarity is civilized by poets in many ways, sometimes funny, at other times iconoclastic, and the poetical formula, even when it seems to be vulgar, pared down, anti-lyrical and apparently unsuitable for the serious message about emotions and thoughts, is ennobled.

Antonio Rafele, the author of the book presented here, contemplates the literature of a big city, as Georg Simmel and Walter Benjamin did before him. This book, published by CNRS (Centre national de la recherché scientifique) in France, is an attempt at a philosophical-literary essay; it is addressed to the world of academia, although the text is situated between an academic and a literary world. The two main parts are simply entitled LA METROPOLE. Simmel and LA PHOTOGRAPHIE. Benjamin. The richness and elegance of language, the depth of thought and the eclectic allusions are as surprising as are the ascetic form and the (occasional) laconic assertions. Rafele easily refers to global and universal Simmel’s perspective as well as to the detailed and individual Benjamin’s views. The center of attention is photography, the first medium of that new revolutionary world of media which would later utilize the television and the Internet. However, what interests Rafele in his reading of Benjamin is that photography, for the first time since the Renaissance, introduced new interpretation of the past. The author does not attempt to apply his considerations about the works of Simmel and of Benjamin to the contemporary, the futuristic, the avant-garde or the archaic model of the city. No other city except for Paris appears.

The article is an attempt to synthesize the evolution of Polish poetry after 1990. This symbolic date, associated with the official end of censorship and the symbolic beginning of the new time in Poland and last decade in the twentieth century, has been chosen as a border date. The author is interested in the process of creation and its mechanisms of describing the world in the work of Krzysztof Siwczyk. This poetry is important because it synthesizes the individual and collective experience and reflects the present.
