SUMMARY
The paper is an attempt to interpret the work of Krystyna Milobedzka, one of the most celebrated contemporary Polish poets, in terms suggested by the ideas of the community of readers as well as the institution of the poetry reading understood as a phenomenological/communal event. The analysis is informed by the recently published volume znikam jestem [I disappear I exist], a record of four poetry readings given by Milobedzka between 2000 and 2010.
