The subject of the paper is Šialený mesiac /The Mad Moon/ by J. Ondruš as a key poetic text of Slovak lyric written in the 1960s – placing the accent on the aspects of his poetics and the ways of identifying them. The paper evolves in several steps. 1. It takes notice of the updates of surreal inspirations namely in the 1960s. 2. It confronts the versions of the poem published in a magazine and in his book debut. It takes notice of certain corrections of eccentricity of the subject-character. 3. It presents an attempt at mythological and philosophical, and intertextual placing of the lunar and lunatic motifs with regard to The Mad Moon. 4. It shows (in reference to P. Ricoeur) the progression of „stain“, „mistake“ and „guilt“ as the indices of fatal human deficiency. 5. The actual critical reading of the poem follows the oscillation between the factual physical everyday dimension of the course of events, and the emphatic, „lunatically“ excessive one,: the „mad moon“ as a cipher of human and poetic existence, as a cipher of poetry itself, its magic power and deficiency.

The present paper dealing with Ivan Laučík´s (1944 – 2004) poetry is organized into several steps. It was inspired by M. Merleau-Ponty´s ideas about the chiasmus of corporeity and the world, about perceiving elements and things, about the functioning of the living language, fragmentarily known in the Czechoslovak context since the 1960s and probably marginally noticed by I. Laučík. The paper refines cave motifs, or topoi as a synecdoche of nature in Laučík´s poetry – it is done by confronting his own poems with Rudolf Těsnohlídek´s book of documentary essays Demänová published in the year 1926. An attempt at defining the semantics of the motifs is made by referring to Laučík´s essay about speleologist J. Volko-Starohorský, where there is a poetically inspiring designation crisis and a crisis situation of existential corporeal commitment projected into the relation between language and cave experience. The paper highlights as an interpretation problem the transition of Laučík´s poetry from an excessively „open“ way of writing of the late 1960s to relating his poetry of the 1980s to natural and cultural landmarks of the Liptov region, biographically well-known to the poet. These ideas are further exemplified by critical reading of three poems. The poem Jahoda (Strawberry, collection Vzdušnou čiarou, As the crow flies, 1991) shows Laučík´s participation in a latent discussion of the 1980s about ecology, the critical reading documents the biographical context of the poem, notices irony and a commemoration gesture. The poem Alexy´s pastel moves on from the visual work of art to reviving its model – a sacred architectural monument falling into a ruin at that time and shows so far unnoticed possibility or form of Laučík´s poetry – a „quasi-geographical recording of history“. In the case of the poem Milí priatelia! (Dear Friends!, end of the collection Na prahu počuteľnosti, On the Threshold of Audibility, 1988) brief fragmentary critical reading uses the motif of a hat to refine the chiasmus between communication and anonymous loneliness, as well as the motif of avalanche in the sense of liberating risk and disaster. The paper situates Laučík´s poetry, which is difficult to read and sometimes even hermetic.
