Abstract

The article presents the literary journalism of Ryszard Krynicki, who was an outstanding Polish poet and one of the most significant participants in the New Wave movement. On the basis of his numerous published reviews, sketches, essays and manifestos, etc. during the years 1966-1975, the following issues were considered: position and role of literary criticism in Krynicki’s output, its avant-garde origin and its formative impact on the new wave movement. A considerable attention was devoted to the category of ”generation”, which was popular then, and connections of the poet with the Poetic Orientation of Hybrides.
