The article attempts to read Wojciech Wencel’s poem Imago mundi, focusing mainly on the process of opening up the Polish literary tradition by the poet (both the classic genre forms and stylization, direct references to the particular authors or symbols common in the Polish literature). Moreover, the author examines the poet’s “forces of imagination,” his characteristic way of depiction, small “obsessions” and the otherness of the analysed poem.

The article shows forms that neo-romantic messianism takes in Wojciech Wencel’s poetry volumes Epigonia and Polonia aeterna. The Polish nation, understood as a primordial community, is depicted through the prism of national-conservative clichés, taken from freely interpreted Sarmatian literature and Mickiewicz’s romanticism. The hero of Wencel’s poems has a sense of mission as a guide for his compatriots through the traps of late modernity and as a guardian of national memory. The language of this poetry, ostentatiously old-fashioned, serves to sacralize history seen as a continuum of struggle and martyrdom. Both books demonstrate a strongly internalized, martyrological-heroic concept of the messianic calling of Poland – although not expressed as directly as in the preceding volume, De profundis.
