Summary/Abstract: The article compares two generations of committed Polish poets, namely the “bruLion” group and the current generation of young poets (represented by the volume "Zebrało się śliny" [Fed Up]). Despite these two formations’ different images, their poems have a lot in common, which is due to their common literary tradition. Similarities can be seen at the level of the poetics of protest, i.e. the critical, artistic transformation of public language.
