Pytania stawiane sobie? „Do poety” Jerzego Lieberta – próba lektury

Abstract

In its pastiche character of a poetic colloquim with the author of Srebrne i czarne [Silver and Black], a poem by Jerzy Liebert Do poety [To the Poet] introduces two counter- effects: his own self-portrait and a portrait of Lechoń. This gesture of the portraitist discloses something irritatingly dispatching and, at the same time, disturbingly concealing. Not only does Liebert raise doubts (“what if…”), basically framing his artistic self-consciousness, but also liberates himself from the cumbersome protection of Skamander. This temerity of looking into poetic looking-glasses, one’s own and those of others, allows him to rich full independence of artistic means, which will reveal itself in the later artistic period.
