Summary/Abstract: The text is an attempt to outline the complex dynamics of Tomasz Pułka’s poetic register. This register is marked by a certain decaying tendency, as a result of which the exploration of “the poles of subjectivity” postulated by the poet is connected with the danger of losing control over a poem. In the face of the pressing “passion of the abolition” – understood in the aesthetic-existential context as the interruption of productive processes of subjectification – Pułka abandons formal discipline and returns to poems that are surprisingly transparent, almost confessional.
