Przeciw śmierci. Liryka Justyny Bargielskiej
Against Death. Lyrics of Justyna Bargielska

Summary/Abstract: This article contains reflections on the most important themes of Justyna Bargielska’s lyrics: death, mortality and loss. The peculiar compulsion of creating poems centered around thanatologic motifs stems from the poet’s biographical experience, and her lyrics very often constitute an expression, subversive and iconoclastic, of the female experiencing mourning. Poetry turns out to be a value contrasted with death, but its effect facilitating reconciliation with the inevitability of the end has a fragmentary dimension: conditional and limited in time, which forces us to take further efforts towards the consciously taken job of “creating against death”.
