The author of the article puts Tadeusz Dąbrowski’s poems, the poet from Gdańsk, as the subject to reflextion. The considerations include the following volumes of poetry: Te Deum (2008), Black square (2009), Between (2013). The author analyses the selected poems in reading-response criticism aspect and in the context of the theory of language mediation and the act of communication. By developing allusions to light and shade figure philosophy by Martin Heidegger as well as the analogies of Dąbrowski’s poetry to photography, he tries to show the specificity of Tadeusz Dąbrowski’s poetic output.
