Summary/Abstract: The book contains texts devoted to writers who are familiar with the ambivalence of lightness and weight. These artists take a pen to seek a remedy for the burden of life, and above all to escape the inertia that is imparted to the word. The effort to overcome what weighs heavily, undertaken (with varying results) by the presented authors – Bolesław Leśmian, Julian Przyboś and Tymoteusz Karpowicz, is an expression of openness to what is multiple and variable, a specific praise of movement that liberates from tension, the movement which allows us to constantly immerse ourselves in vitality of life.
