Druga przestrzeń is a religious poet’s declaration looking for God, the Absolute who resides in this second space, unobtainable for human beings here on earth. This volume is a contemplation of eschata, a metaphysical seeking of answers to the Author’s nagging questions and his getting across to the other dimension. The poet persistently aspired for this title “second space” throughout his life. Druga przestrzeń showed the longing for deep faith, which is transforming and thanks to faith, human beings can become experienced by God’s love.
