The article discusses the ecopoetic potential inherent in small lyrical forms which employ a peculiar technique of showing the “picture” of the external world. The poetics of the “silent poems” consists in concealing the presence of the subject and presenting the reader with a bare fragment of reality, which in the analyzed instances involve non-human nature. The author, examining the pieces by Jacek Gutorow, Bartosz Suwiński and Klara Nowakowska, outlines a poetic form in which the equivalence of each element of nature displaces the anthropocentric vision of the world. The study sets out from the old Japanese genre of haiku and Anglo-American imagism. The concept of ecopoetics, suggested by Julia Fiedorczuk and Gerardo Beltrán provide the core context for these deliberations.
