Zwielokrotnione podwojenie – poeta Marian Pankowski w oczach Doroty Walczak-Delanois
Multiple Doubling – The Poet Marian Pankowski in the Eyes of Dorota Walczak-Delanois

Summary/Abstract: The bilingual (Polish-French) book Poetic doubling. Marian Pankowski – Polish poet of the French language (2020) by Dorota Walczak-Delanois is an important study that fills in the gap in the research on Marian Pankowski’s poetry and its reception. By examining the poems meticulously – with a special emphasis put on entanglements between the poet’s growing bilingualism and the development of his artistic work – the author points at the rootedness of Pankowski’s poetry in Polish literary tradition and, at the same time, at his uniqueness on the map of Polish and Belgian literature in the 20th century. Pankowski’s poetic work is depicted as highly sensual, suspended between two different languages and literary traditions, and truly up-to-date, also in the context of contemporary criticism.
