“There is I, but me is not” – the limits of poetic madness of Rafał Wojaczek
Abstract
In this article the author made an attempt at demarcating the limits of the poetic language of Rafał
Wojaczek, the crossing of which – as the author of this study thinks – opens before the poet
a possibility of achieving the perfectness of the subject of his poems, portending the specter
of madness. This project is combined with the problems of the crisis of identity being both the
reason and the consequence of the many renewed attempts at its realisation. The author claims
that from this point of view, it was in the Dziennik [Diary] (the first of the analysed texts) Wojaczek
as an author his desire of perfection and discovers that it is unattainable beyond madness.
Dziennik is also a place of the first experience of the crisis in view of which the debut Sezon
[Season], and in particular the poem which opens that book, and which has the same title as the
whole (another text submitted to interpretaion), is only its poetic rewriting. Such a view allows the
author to reveal the intertextual opening. In the course of analysis of the poem, difficulties
connected with the realisation of the project, i.e. obtaining oneself as authentic in the language,
just defining of identity, the source of which is Arthur Rimbaud’s philosophy, is exposed. Nevertheless
Wojaczek’s subject is neither a repetition of the model of Rimbaud nor its denial, but
a transfer of elusiveness of the changeable “I”, expressed by means of the formula “I is someone
else”, into the area of absence. The considerations are capped with the interpretation of the work
Piszę wiersz [I am writing a poem], which is a poetic verification of diagnoses made by Wojaczek
in Sezon.
