The article deals with the characters of children and childhood as an important element of Dariusz Suska’s poetry. Both this topic and its connection with the anthropologically understood issues of time, death and memory are motifs often exposed as key to understanding the poetry of the author of Ghosts of Days. These elements, as well as the setting of the world presented in a specific, autobiographically motivated topography and memory of a historical character, are indicated by the author as organizing elements for the whole of the poet’s oeuvre, always immersed in an obscure, fairy-tale past, at the same time saturated with concrete. The whole reflection on the structure of memory in Suska’s poetry has an inclination due to the regionally understood characteristics of the space in which he places his child heroes, functioning in highly organized poems, but with a decidedly “adult” message.
