Summary/Abstract: Jacek Kopciński reconstructs the gist of literary works by Michał Głowiński collected in a book Zaświat przestawiony. Szkice o poezji Bolesława Leśmiana from 1981 (re-released in 1998). Kopciński considers Głowiński’s longstanding work on Leśmian’s texts as some personal intellectual adven- ture for Głowiński and puts it in the context of his other studies on contemporary literature – mostly literary works by Miron Białoszewski. The fundamental thesis of the article is that although, while working on Leśmian’s poetry, Głowiński employed traditional literary devices developed by historical poetics, he treated Leśmian rather like a contemporary poet – and this is also how he interpreted his poems in an attempt to bring out a poetic project of new post-war humanism.
