Summary/Abstract: The cartographic poem (poem-map) is an experimental poetic text structured after a map,namely a logovisual composition with linguistic elements arranged following a groundplan. This article defines the development directions of the cartographic poem in Polishexperimental poetry by analyzing its most important historical and contemporaryrealizations. The text distinguishes two types of poem-maps, first introduced in the1960s in concrete poetry: Roman Gorzelski’s texts that created a simpler visual type– represented today by Jakub Wojciechowski and Piotr Kasperowicz – and MarianGrześczak’s poems-scores that established the more complex, audiovisual type, whichinvolves also the sound layer, continued today in Radosław Nowakowski and MarcinMokry’s experiments.
