The discussion focuses in turn on the manifestations of the (sick) body in Poświatowska’s poems and poetic prose (especially when its connected with special sound effects), the verbalization of sensory experience (primarily with regard to the sense of touch) and the role of the sick woman’s body in her poetic world (including direct references to the sick body in the act of writing). The critical strategy employed in this article is intended to complement the legacy readings of Poświatowska’s work with a functional, somapoetic interpretation that would give full scope to her narrative of the ailing body.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Experiencing illness and the sick body in Halina Poświatowska’s poetry: The somapoetic approach Summary}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/130839/2023-04-RL-08.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2023.148304}, keywords={Polish literature of the 20th century, health humanities, somapoetics, sensuality, tactile experience and language, illness narratives, écriture feminine, Halina Poświatowska (1935–1967)}, }
