Abstract:

This article aims to analyse the motives, language, and religious figures in the poems of Szczepan Kopyt whichdeal with the issues of social inequality, systemic violence, and the unequal distribution of goods. The authorsuggests/posits that post-secular rhetoric in modern engaged poetry aims to criticize the capitalist system based oneconomic differences and to consolidate social structures, exposing the principles according to which violence islegitimized within neoliberal capitalism. The author shows how the poet uses the language of religion to talk aboutclass inequalities. The article discusses the most important rhetorical figures used in Szczepan Kopyt’s poems aswell as characteristics of the language of the Bible or prayer forms, highlighting threads embedded in the religiousimagination (such as the theme of salvation or the apocalypse), which – when recontextualized – constitute animportant tool for criticizing systemic inequalities.
