Abstract
The article analyzes still life as a form of representing the visual
in twentieth-century Russian poetry. The focus is on the ways in which the
pictorial genre is poetically appropriated and its semantics transformed within
the lyric text. Drawing on poems that include the words “still life” in the title or
the body of the text, the study examines the main models of this image’s functioning: still life as a work of painting, as a composition created by nature or
the world, and as a juxtaposition of objects that organizes poetic utterance. It is
shown that recourse to still life activates visual imagery while simultaneously
engaging other sensory modalities and fostering reflection on the relationship
between the living and the non-living, the thing and the human being, art and
reality. The analysis demonstrates that in poetry still life is rarely realized in
the form of direct ekphrasis; rather, it structures the lyrical plot and activates
the reader’s visual imagination.

Using Fakhr al-Din ‘Irāqī’s Lamaʿāt (Divine Flashes) as a case study, this article explores the significance of the poetic form and the role of the reader/listener in interpreting and experiencing the poem. The article argues...

Różewicz felt compelled to...

In order to shed light on this productive confusion, I shall explore Thomas Aquinas’ medieval notion of divine poiesis not merely as a theological or metaphysical intrusion of the pedagogical field, but as a model and metaphor that...

This article will focus on three poets I consider as having practised innovative modes of writing with a visual artwork in mind: Anne Carson, Emily Berry, and Deryn Rees-Jones. In contrast to more traditional ekphrasis—exemplified by William Carlos Williams’s Pictures from Brueghel—the poets I examine do not gesture to...
The article is devoted to the analysis of the poetic speech of the
Beat poet Philip Whalen (1923–2002), whose work goes beyond the classical
aesthetics and poetics of the Beats. The purpose of the work is to identify the unique features of his poetic tradition, which were formed at the intersection
of American modernis...
