Against Death. Lyrics of Justyna Bargielska
Agnieszka Czyżak
Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w PoznaniuAbstract
This article contains reflections on the most important themes of Justyna Bargielska’s lyrics: death, mortality and loss. The peculiar compulsion of creating poems centered around thanatologic motifs stems from the poet’s biographic experience, and her lyrics very often constitutes an expression, subversive and iconoclastic, of the female experiencing mourning. Poetry turns out to be a value contrasted with death, but its effect facilitating reconciliation with the inevitability of the end has a dimension fragmentary, conditional and limited in time, which forces us to take further efforts towards the consciously taken job of “creating against death”.
