From Korczak to Kulmowa. On Joanna Kulmowa's Ecopoetry and the "Ecopoetic" Games of Seven-Year-Olds

Summary/Abstract: his article is the second part of the author’s reflections on the role of high-art poetry in a child’s life. The protagonists of the first article were five-year-old children, active recipients of Wisława Szymborska’s poems (Chęcińska, 2020). In the second part, with Joanna Kulmowa’s “poetic mindfulness,” which the poet has made a carrier of ecological content. The poetic play of seven-year-old children was combined. Kulmova’s “ecopoetry,” like the “ecopoetics” of the contemporary poet Julia Fiedorczuk (Fiedorczuk i Beltrán, 2020), is associated with the “practice of attentive listening,” experiencing and experiencing the world. Conducted in the dimension of ostensive-inferential communication, it opposes anthropocentrism, is combined with the development of ecological imagination, aesthetic curiosity and self-reflection. This article is addressed mainly to early childhood education teachers, who are to be encouraged to compose poems by outstanding poets. According to the author of the article, highly artistic poetry, due to its great communication potential, can become an important element of a child’s life as sustainable poetry. Due to the theoretical and practical distinctiveness of early childhood education pedagogy, the anthropocentric cultural changes progressing in the world, as well as a kind of “poetic apossiopsis” occurring on the publishing market, which is totally dominated by prose works for children, it seems to be important and necessary today.
