Summary/Abstract: Rudaś-Grodzka explores the different functions of myth in the poetry of Julia Fiedorczuk (born 1975), which can be seen as one of the most interesting artistic developments in Poland today. Fiedorczuk is a literary scholar and translator and her work draws on American Modernists, ecocriticism and feminism. Rudaś-Grodzka explores Fiedorczuk’s poetic strategy, which on many semantic levels is characterised by hybridity. RudaśGrodzka also proposes the concept of syrenism, understood as a creative stance that opposes unifying or bonding forces, which give rise to a continuum and symmetry.
