Abstract

The article is a voice in the reflection on the culture-forming role of Laski, where
Róża Czacka has been running the Society for the Care of the Blind since 1922. It is
also a haven for those who have lost their sight of faith, a place of evangelical work
and many creative inspirations.
I show how the Laski community influenced Jan Twardowski’s post-war debut and his
poetry. Referring to M. Czermińska’s article, I call Laski the poets autobiographical
place. I interpret poems inspired by Twardowski’s stays and meetings in Laski,
emphasizing the theme of sensual experience, mainly touch

Keywords:

Jan Twardowski, Laski, place, autobiographical place, touch
