The review article discusses Robert Mielhorski’s book Zawsze niezakończona przeszłość. Dzieciństwo i jego sąsiedztwa w poezji polskiej drugiej połowy XX wieku [Always an Unfinished Past: Childhood and Its Neighbourhoods in Polish Poetry of the Second Half of the 20th Century] (2017). The paper presents the most im¬portant theses of the book, shows the researcher’s most valuable findings – especially regarding the topics of memory and anamnesis, and also argues with some of the author’s statements (most importantly, those related to the use of psychoana¬lytical tools in the process of interpretation of a literary text).
