Summary/Abstract: The article starts with a summary of discussion that erupted after the publication of the Zebrało się śliny anthology with regard to the phenomenon of “engaged poetry.” According to the author, there has emerged a group of poets who directly and actively refer in their works to current discourses, including new animal theories. This “animal” engagement of new Polish poetry is realized within three basic conceptual frameworks: connections with capitalism, analogies between animal exploitation and the patriarchal system, as well as the process of technocratization.
