The author is concerned with fundamental problems of Rózewicz's diction: the construction of the writing subject and its cognitive barriers, the relation between poem and thing, silence as a consequence of his belief in inexpressibility, and, finally, with means of representing things, such as analogy, ekphrasis, or the search for the primordial image. The author adopts the framework of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger - an antithesis of Rózewicz's literary strategies.
