This essay attempts at interpreting selected poems and essays by Tadeusz Rózewicz, in the context of funereal/commemorative issues. These include both occasional texts devoted to the memory of individual persons as well as pieces considering the problem of Death in a universal perspective. Having assumed that the issue of Death - a death of God, man, and poetry, and reciprocal associations thereof - is one of the major threads in the poet's oeuvre, the authoress attempts at reconstructing the reply Rózewicz gives to the question of how is it possible for poetry - 'dead, as it is, ... mortal, as it is', and deprived of a metaphysical foundation - to save or preserve the memory of a dead person. She tries to prove that Rózewicz's funereal output polemicises with a consolational model of mournful or memorial poetry and its traditional topics.

This article examines experience in the light of modern concepts of poetry. The classic modernists (like Friedrich, Culler, and Wellek) categorically refuse to admit the concept of experience into their critical discourse on account of its heterogeneous extemal or biographical nature. This radical view seems to conceal a number of inconsistencies and contradictions which result, as the authoress of the article tries to demonstrate from a failure to distinguish between mere experience and lived experience, a contrast highlighted in the Polish words 'doswiadczenie' vs. 'przezycie', or the German pairing 'Erfahrung' vs. 'Erlebnis'. This distinction is further explored on the basis of the analyses of Walter Benjamin and Philippe Lacue-Labarthe. Eventually, the authoress constructs a typology which gives due attention to the principal constitutive aspects of poetic experience, ie. it distinguishes four types of that experience, the epiphanic (rooted in language), the traumatic (rooted in the structures of memory), the autobiographical (which gives shape to the representation of the writer's 'I'), and the temporal (which controls the temporal aspect of the creative process).
