Summary/Abstract: Miroslaw Dzień is perceived as a metaphysical poet. The subject matter of his poems frequently oscillates around existential problems and touches on various religious issues (including eschatological ones). An ambivalent view of language emerges from Dzien’s poems. The language used there serves to capture different aspects of reality and preserve various phenomena. On the other hand, however, it does not allow the poet to address the most important issues and articulate his innermost thoughts. In this context, it is the poetry that is the higher form of communication, though it also has great limitations. This is because everything that matters most is contained in silence.
