This article examines connections between the poetry of Eugeniusz Tkaczyszyn-Dycki and works by Cyprian Norwid, following Norwidian traces in the contemporary poet’s writings and attempting to reveal their meanings. Poems from collections titled Kochanka Norwida (2014) and Nie dam ci siebie w żadnej postaci (2016) are analysed and interpreted in terms of their frequent and obvious references to Norwid. It is argued that Norwid’s works have had a significant impact on the poetic identity of Tkaczyszyn-Dycki, while his references to Norwid do not stem merely from adopting a certain creative strategy but from Tkaczyszyn-Dycki’s exceptional experience of encountering the Romantic poet.
