Abstract
Summary This article presents an interpretation of the title poem of The Cooper’s Daughter (2002), Ludmiła Marjańska’s penultimate volume of funeral, senile and feminist verse. ‘The cooper’s daughter’ stands out from Marjańska’s other lyrics by dint of its well-ordered rhythmic structure and its wealth of symbolic signs, placing it firmly in a broad anthropological and cultural context. It’s a dancing poem, re-enacting the mystery of life and death; its analysis opens a perspective on the whole of Marjańska’s work and provides the tools for a reconstruction of her truly original and disturbing ‘metaphysical project’.
