Abstract
The article is a study on the figure of Lazarus of Bethany in the poetic cycle The Jesus Papers written by American poet Anne Sexton, known in Poland mainly due to the selection of love poems entitled Kochając zabójcę. Honored in 1967 with the Pulitzer Prize Sexton is primarily regarded as a representative of American confession poetry, but the poetic series The Jesus Papers and her following book Transformations proves that Sexton’s creativity goes far beyond this distinction towards a critical reflection on narratives and figures which continue to organize the contemporary imagination. In Jesus summons forth, a poem from The Jesus Papers these figures are Christ and Lazarus and this article is focused on how they function and how are they related in this poetry.
