Summary/Abstract: Distinctive and striking motif of suicide is present in contemporary Polish poetry in two ways, either as a discussion of or an announcement of one’s own suicide, or as a reflexion, that is, lyrical interpretation of the suicide of others. On the basis of the existentialist treatment of suicide as an authentic act, the article aims to analyse similarities and differences of poetic presentation of the aforementioned types of suicide — one’s own suicide, which always remains just an idea or a possibility, and other people’s suicide, which becomes an object of post festum lyrical interpretation.
