Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyse and interpret Gertruda Goepfertová's (born 1924) poetry. The author mentions her relationship with Jan Čep.
Her first short stories (published in Akord in 1940's) are correlative of Čep's stories Lístky z alba (1944). While most of Čep's stories have a transcendental solution, her stories focus on things, senses, language and memory.
Goepfertová wants to confirm things for present, not for eternity. The author of the article compares her poetry with Martin Heidegger's metaphor "poetically man dwells".
Her fascination with landscape processes contrasts with her living in exile. In Goepfertová's poetry, there are two aims related to this contrast: to remind of "lost paradise" of childhood and to point out the break between modern life and nature resulting in the loss of home.
