In the article Haunted places of Eugeniusz Tkaczyszyn-Dycki, Szymon Trusewicz examines the poetry of Tkaczyszyn-Dycki in the light of Jacques Derrida’s hauntology. The ‘language of space’ originated by Gérard Genette is the starting point. It suggests that some methaphors connote the space beside its original, non-spatial meaning. To describe Tkaczyszyn-Dycki, the critics use such terms as ‘diversity’, ‘simultaneousness’, ‘co-presence’, which – according to the Author – reveals the essential relation between the space and the language in this poetry. The poetry of Tkaczyszyn-Dycki is analyzed through the figure of anachrony and the figure of displacement. The author focuses especially on the dates of his poetry, taking into account the biography of the poet. In each following volume, the artist seems to emphasize that some poems belong to different periods of time. Thus the anachrony becomes an artistic strategy of Tkaczyszyn-Dycki. Taking into consideration some terms of Janusz Sławiński, Trusewicz claims that space in the works of the poet does not fulfil only its basic role of ‘the container’ for characters and plot. Tkaczyszyn-Dycki renders the communication aspect more spacious and engage it in the scenery of poem, which already contains the autobiographical places (sensu Małgorzata Czermińska). In consequence, it produces a solid and complex knot of life and poetic output.
