The paper contains an interpretation of Mariusz Wilk’s concept of ‘nomadism’, ‘way’, and ‘wandering’, formulated in his 'North Diary' ('Wilczy notes', 'Wołoka', 'Dom nad Oniego', 'Tropami rena'). The author presents some parallels between Wilk’s vision and the ideas of his masters: Kenneth White’s idea of intellectual nomadism; the zen or buddhist concept of the wandering; and the religious-mythological ideas of Nikolai Kluiev, the poet inspired by the symbolic model of the Russian orthodox house. Pointing to similarities, the author observes that Wilk’s version of traveling is a very Russian one, i.e. his nomadism is an ideal of the maximalist life-art; it parallels the spiritual pilgrimage of body and mind; it is a type of mystical ascetism, which tries to transcend all intellectual or physical borders; and, finally, it is Russian in the author's emphasis on the identification of the ‘way’ with singing, and of creating a new world by singing.

The article will offer a comparative reading of Kenneth White’s poetry, essays and travelogues/waybooks, with the focus on the issue of travelling, in particular the theme of drifting, the practice of writing-travelling and travelling-seeing (voyage-voyance). I will also try to demonstrate that there is a link between White’s theory of geopoetics and the practice of voyage-voyance in his writing. I will focus mainly on selected passages from the chapters of Travels in the Drifting Dawn and poems in which White discusses the issue of his writing-travelling and the process of self-realisation.
