In the article "'Investing in poetry isn't worth it'? The poetical criticism of popculture in Lipska's chosen poems from the years 2007-2015", Joanna Sapa proposes an analysis of the way in which the lyrical subject estimates and comments on the present cultural transformations that result from mass culture drawing in almost all elements of reality. The author's considerations begin with a reminder of Eagleton’s observations on the contemporary diminished importance of the real content of culture (understood as the material, ethical, and moral goods of a society) as compared to the meanings it is attributed by the society. The development of mass culture – including the reproduction of works, consumerism, globalization, and Theodor Adorno's „cultural industry” – caused a transformation of cultural goods into commodities. Zygmunt Bauman also writes about the special "consumer syndrome” being the effect of an ubiquitous and importunate marketization of human workings. The aim of the presented analysis is to highlight the poems from Lipska's newest poetical volumes: Newton's orange (2007), Aftersound (2010), Reader of papillary lines (2015) in which the lyrical I subject narrates the consequences of the chaotic, mass circulation of culture and of the mixing that occurs between the sphere of elitist culture and mass culture. In these poems, the lyrical I additionally talks about aging and death in the context of popular culture, and exposes various ways of valuing reality in media records. The Key according to which the author arranged Lipska’s poems into different sections is based on the metaphors they use (from diverse thematic circles). These are: the combination of high art and colloquial language ("MacHamlet’s on stage”); the consumers' uncritical acceptance of media's idealized world ("in apartments of television the pleb with the stars”); aging and dying as described by metaphors related to fashion and clothes ("in wide woollen shoulders of death”).
