In her publication, Anna Pajdzińska addresses issues located on the border of disciplines, treating language as the material of a literary work. The reflection is conducted from two perspectives, which is reflected in the division of the book into two parts. The first part, entitled "Problems of the linguistic organization of the poetic text", is devoted to the linguistic mechanisms of building meaning in poetic works. The second part, "Approaches", analyzes specific realizations of poems by Józef Czechowicz, Wisława Szymborska, Miron Białoszewski, Ryszard Krynicki and Stanisław Barańczak.

The author uses the achievements of structural linguistics and cognitive linguistics, which makes it possible to avoid interpretative arbitrariness and overcome the limitations of the structuralist view. The theoretical theses are illustrated with examples from Polish poetry of the 20th century, which makes the reasoning more accessible and understandable. The clarity of the construction of the volume goes hand in hand with the clarity of the reasoning and the language of communication.

It is worth emphasizing that the review by Dr. habil. Jolanta Chojak, Prof. UW, emphasizes the elegance and accessibility of the language of the publication, which makes it accessible to a wide audience. The book is a valuable source of knowledge for students, researchers and everyone interested in language and poetry. It allows a better understanding of how language shapes our perception of the world and how it affects our emotions. It is a reading that inspires deeper reflection on the word and its power.
