Summary/Abstract: The review discusses Michał Nawrocki’s book on Stanisław Grochowiak’s poetry. The scholar offers a synchronic view on the lyric poetry and shows that from juvenilia to the last poems the reader faces the same fears, obsessions, and the same poetic imagination focusing on God and final matters. Nawrocki writes, “The more the poetry calls for God, the more God is away from it, and the stronger God is absent from it. And Grochowiak’s poetry recalls God unceasingly.” The book supplements the readings of Grochowiak’s poems to date, especially its school reading stereotype.
