Summary:Aquatic motives occur frequently in Adam Zagajewski’s poetry. Bodzioch-Bryła produces (1) an analysis of the aquatic element as extensive in an anthropological-cultural sense, encompassing a wealth of meanings, including ones that have a symbolical or sacral provenance; this is sometimes realised through lyrical and diverse concretisations of the water’s different hues; (2) a vivisection of the aquatic element as a personified or animated being (sometimes bringing to mind a greedy and dangerous creature); (3) a view of the water as a medium, a carrier of memory able to safeguard memories of humanity, places and cultural achievements. According to Zagajewski’s friends, his aquatic sensitivity grows out of what we could call real, somatic experience, which over the course of time translates into intellectual poetic discourse.
