Wydział Filologiczny, Uniwersytet w BiałymstokuAbstract
The article offers a reading of a poet and author Mira Łuksza, who was born in 1958 and lives in the region of Podlasie. Atlantis appears to be a visible recurring motif in her writings. It symbolizes the underwater world and becomes the point of departure for further interpretations. Finally, it prompts the questions of remembering, forgetting and identity in the context of Polish-Belarusian borderland.Keywords:
