“And I Am the Only Proof”. On Science-Fiction Poetry
Mariusz M. Leś
Uniwersytet w BiałymstokuAbstract
The author of the article presents three concepts of the existence of poetry in the framework of the science-fiction literary convention. The first of the concepts, concretized by Suzette Haden Elgin, recognizes a possibility of creating a lyrical monologue from inside of an assumed fantastic reality. The other one, more risky, confronts the scientific discourse with an intimate confession in the framework of allegory and hyperbole. The third one, represented by Samuel R. Delany, Adam Roberts and Seo-Young Chu’s views, recognizes the existence of poetry as a holistic dimension of the science-fiction convention.
