Abstract
Elements of Avant-garde Poetics and Aesthetics in the Polish and Russian Translations of Charles Bukowski’s Poems
 The poetics of Charles Bukowski’s lyrical verse can be considered avantgarde not only because of their scandalous and often scatological content. It also stems from the author’s philosophical fascination with the disintegration and ruthlessness of time, as well as the situation of the monadic isolation of the individual from the beings external to him. This, in turn, makes Bukowski a peripheral and separate phenomenon even within the polysystem of American culture: the translation of his poems is associated with inevitable shifts within the polysystem of the target culture and, at the same time, requires an in-depth analysis of the poetics of the original text. This article deals with the analysis of Polish and Russian translations of Bukowski’s two poems (Dreamlessly and Palm Leaves), paying particular attention to the issue of translating impersonal phrases and textual points.
