The article attempts to examine one of the themes in Halina Poswiatowska’s lyric poetry as well as treats the issue of the texts’ sound pattern and musical inspirations which gave rise to Poswiatowska’s poems. The part Sense of hearing – “sense of participation” describes the search for a direct means of expression which needs to be “supported” by sound. The second part collects and analyses Poswiatowska’s references to genres which are connected to music through their music origin or formation, and stylistic features tied to them. Music, in the following part, is also perceived as a way or a form of being. The poetry’s “musicality” in the view of Tadeusz Baird shown in the final part completes the topic from another perspective, namely one in which the literary world is perceived from the prism of sound sensations.
