The article, which is an analysis of Kacper Bartczak's poetry collection "Pokarm suweren" ["Food Sovereign"], presents the characteristics of the title figures (food and sovereignty), their interdependence and their significance for the issues addressed by the poet. The interpretation is built against the background of the concept of sovereignty as understood by Carl Schmitt, Giorgio Agamben and Roberto Esposito. Readings of individual poems aim to demonstrate that Bartczak's lyrical subjects, in the course of experience, attempt to approach a (neo)vitalism tailored to their world-feeling, and thus initiate the objective imperative of the power of biology, deriving this necessity from the idiomatically seen poetic language - a source of order located outside the system of technopolitics and arbitrary law, but deeply connected to life.
