Abstract
This article explores the known published lyrical works of Barbara Kwapisz (1949), a Polish-born poet who learnt Belarusian upon moving to Białowieża to work as a teacher and coming into contact with the local Belarusian ethnic minority, their customs and culture. In order to analyse Kwapisz's poetry, we consulted the archive of the weekly magazine "Niva", as well as the 1980 edition of the "Belaveža" literary almanac. We managed to find a total of 11 poems dating from 1976 to 1980 which we analysed from the linguistic and literary point of view. After our study of Barbara Kwapisz's works, we came to the conclusion that her poetry deserves both recognition and scientific attention, since she is both a key representative of the phenomenon of exophony in the Belarusian language and a notable poet.
