Pisanie szeptem? O najnowszej polskiej poezji lesbijskiej

Abstract

This article is an attempt to reconstruct the history of Polish lesbian poetry since the 1990s. The author analyzes the work of poets who introduced themes of female non-heteronormativity into Polish poetry at the turn of the millennium. The poems of Ewa Sonnenberg, Inga Iwasiów and Izabela Filipiak (Morska), being examples of different ways of writing about the lesbian experience, became a contribution to the reflection on queer representation in culture and literature in recent years. In the context of the interdisciplinarity of lesbian poetry, the article tries to outline its presence in independent literary life, citing examples of films, zines and slam poetry. It also points out recent books of poetry and female authors who have become representatives of recent Polish lesbian poetry. Keywords: poetry, Polish poetry, contemporary Polish poetry, lesbian poetry, queer literature, queer, non-heteronormativity, feminism, female non-heteronormativity
