„Więcej znaczy gorzej”. Poezja polska i krach ekologiczny

Abstract

The present essay deals with the subject of ecological reflection undertaken by 20th-century Polish poets: Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, Czesław Miłosz, Tadeusz Różewicz and Zbigniew Herbert. The key to reading and interpreting their poems is adopted from Jason Hickel’s book "Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World". In the conclusion, a community of thought is discovered in regard to the ecological meltdown that today’s world is experiencing.
