O tym, czego nie ma? Poezja chrześcijańska w Polsce XXI wieku

The purpose of the article is to identify the state of Christian lyric poetry in contemporary Polish literature. A reliable diagnosis on this matter is made by a historical-literary analysis, carried out with the help of the cube figure. It indicates the most important axes ordering Polish contemporary poetry in a way that transcends the ad hoc character of critical assessment. An additional criterion is a historical-literary context related to the works of Kochanowski, Sęp Szarzyński, and Norwid. The recognition, referring mainly to the poems of poets grouped around the journal "Topos", shows that in the 21st century, Christian poetry in Polish literature is not present. The article formulates possible conditions conducive to its appearance in the future.
