The article focuses on the issue of parenthesis in poetic texts, with focus on selected poems by Krystyna Miłobędzka. The analysis leads to the conclusion that interjection, particularly in its parenthetical form, has a different – broader – function in a poem than in other types of texts and is a significant interpretive signal. These reflections also demonstrate how the potential of parenthesis was exploited by the poet to create multiaspectual meanings.
