Dialog między Tadeuszem Różewiczem a Adamem Czerniawskim
Some remarks on a poetic dialogue between Tadeusz Różewicz and Adam Czerniawski

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a few motifs related to the poetic dialogue between Tadeusz Różewicz and Adam Czerniawski. The reflection concerns, among other things, the issue of references – i.e. mutual poetic portraits; how Czerniawski’s translations affected the meaning-modifying corrections made by Różewicz in his lyric Drzwi [Door]; and, the dialogicality of autothematic issues embarked on by the two poets, related to the essence of poetry and the ethos of poet. The following poems are subject to analysis: Różewicz’s Francis Bacon czyli Diego Velázquez na fotelu dentystycznym [‘Francis Bacon or Diego Velázquez in a dentist’s chair]; ***; Drzwi [Door]; ***, na początku jest słowo [‘at the beginning there is word’]; na obrzeżach poezji [‘in the peripheries of poetry’]; and, Czerniawski’s Tak to jest specjalista [‘Yes that’s an expert’], and, Tajemnica poezji [‘The secret of poetry’]. Adam Czerniawski has translated Różewicz’s poems and plays into English. A poet and critic, he is a friend of Różewicz’s.
