Abstract
Death in the poetry of Konstanty I. Gałczyński is a subject still waiting to be read in full. This sketch 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 ways of using this difficult, heavy and demanding subject seems no less unusual. Gałczyński makes that death in poetry does not have to scare, neither is it a trivialized problem; his poetry teaches the ubiquity and diversity of “Thanatos” in human life.
