Spokorniało to co na pewno / bo wszystko inaczej” (“It has become humble, what was sure / because everything else”). A proposal to interpret the poems of priest Twardowski from a postsecular perspective

Abstract

In the poetry of Jan Twardowski, one can notice the convergence of thinking and poetic language with the postulates of postsecularism, especially with the theology of the event and the concept of the weakness of God J.D. Caputo. I pro-pose to look at Twardowski’s poems from a postsecular perspective, delineating seven “paths” of interpretation: the first one leads to God who is absent in his omnipotence; the second is the path of being transparent to God’s happening; the third path is looking “completely different” thanks to surprise; the fourth path is an indication Weak God; the fifth – abandoning the theological routine; the sixth – breaking with logic and ending; the seventh path is an indication of the language of this poetry, which breaks the patterns of writing about God.
