Reflecting on Marcin Świetlicki’s collection of poems Non-Obvious. Religious Poems [Nieoczywiste. Wiersze religijne] (selected by Wojciech Bonowicz), the author undertook an analysis of the category of religiousness which is present in this poetry, in particular its non-obviousness in the iconographic perspective. The reader of that poetry is pushed out of joints of the former experiences of the Polish religious poetry, since their place is taken by ambivalence and uncertainty of God’s images. The lyrical “I” experiences uncertainty in the sphere of religion and faces the image of God as only a remnant of the past.
