Summary/Abstract: Travel and change impress their mark on Andrew Busza’s life, as well as Joseph Conrad’s, whom he chose as an object of research. Bearing that in mind, one might read Znaki wodne… [Water Signs…] as a poetical attempt to describe the influence of stars on man’s life, although they also appear as signs on water, a symbol of fleetingness. As a whole, the author’s first volume of poems testifies to the need of expressing himself in his native language and finding a shelter from the destructive power of history and alteration. Some literary Baroque echoes in his poetry are born from these diverse tensions.
