Summary/Abstract: This article seeks to interpret Andrzej Stasiuk’s poetic prose entitled Dukla, which records the experience of a specific geographical place and is therefore read here from the perspective of geopoetics. The key reoccurring motif in the descriptions of Dukla is light, which for Stasiuk is the main event of this place, so his work can be called a poetic study of light that enlivens the landscape of Beskid Niski. The story of Dukla was read as a specific treatise on geopoetics which narrates a geographically, historically and poetically charming place, as well as an example of the hermeneutics of place, i.e. the art of interpreting the place as an event, a dynamic interaction between the place and the subject experiencing it.
