Abstract

Eugeniusz Tkaczyszyn Dycki (born 1964) belongs to the group of poets whose work has been awarded many times in prestigious literary competitions; the poet received, among others, The Nike Literary Award (2009), the Gdynia Literary Award (twice: in 2006 and 2009) and the Silesius
Wrocław Poetry Award (twice: in 2012 and 2020). His poetry has been systematically elaborated on the themes of madness, disease and the obsession with death. When writing about death Dycki refers to the baroque tradition. Therefore, the aim of this article is an attempt to interpret the works of Tkaczyszyn-Dycki in the context of questions about the Baroque tradition and its various continuations
in contemporary Polish poetry. Dycki certainly refers to the Baroque (or more broadly the Old Polish tradition), but this Baroque undergoes a far-reaching metamorphosis. It is an obscure, non-obvious Baroque, functioning rather as a specter haunting the language, through which Dycki
fights for his own speech, still watching death.
