The aim of the article is to discuss Anja Golob's poetic volume Didaskalije k dihanju (Stage Directions to Breathing) in the context of the "poetics of the trace", understood as echoes of intentional presence and as something that constitutes presence, or that is a form of becoming in unpresence. In her intimate and philosophical poetry, Golob points out the importance of understanding the world and the need for freedom, which may be not present at times, but which is never unattainable. She also points to movement, time and space in which sense comes into existence, and which she reaches by moving between silence and verbosity, within the space of diverse languages and symbols, sensitive to presence and non-presence, as emptiness and void. It is there, in emptiness and void, in shadows and reflections, that Golob stops, aiming to show the traces of unpresence.
