Maszyny muzyczne, maszyny poetyczne : urządzenia i nośniki fonograficzne w wierszach poetów polskich XX wieku

For majority of poets in the 20th century, recording was a natural way to perceive music and the phonographic devices created frames and context for many poetic creation s. As the evolution of recording technology developed very quickly, the phonographic conditions of poetry changed with i t. The role of musical machines in poems is usually minor: they are named or implied as a source of music in various spaces and condition s. Nevertheless, sometimes they became very important: their characteristic, form, way of working become the subject of observation, reflection, point of departure for metaphors as well as symbolic sense s. The paper shows and describes a few examples of Polish poetry metamorphosing the phonographic devices (poems of Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska, Miron Białoszewski, Adam Zagajewski, Maciej Woźniak).
