Abstract

Death in poetry by Konstanty I. Gałczyński is a subject still waiting to be explored in full. This article is an attempt to examine the significance of the death motif in Gałczyński’s poetry, the role that this subject could have played in shaping poetic imagination and building an individual vision of the world, not to mention his philosophy. Attention is drawn to the presence of the motif throughout the entire period of Gałczyński’s work, and the talent of the poet, capable of various uses of this difficult, heavy and demanding subject seems no less unusual. Gałczyński tries to convey that death in poetry does not have to scare the reader, neither should it trivialize the problem; his poetry teaches the ubiquity and diversity of “Thanatos” in human life.
