Summary/Abstract: This article is a discussion of Anita Jarzyna’s bookPost-koine. Studiao nieantropocentrycznych językach (poetyckich)[Post-koine. Studies of non-anthropocentric (poetic) languages] (2019), which analyses non-anthropocentric narratives in contemporary Polish poetry. The reviewer introduces the problematics of the monograph and notices the non-obvious choice of works interpreted by Jarzyna, who is primarily interested in glimpsesof the non-anthropocentric perspective in authors not associated with the ecocritical writing. Taking into account various interpretative contexts, the author presents a wide spectrum of issues from the field of animal studies, and she also argues that poetry is both a reflection and a harbinger of changes that are taking place in the collective imagination.
