Abstract
Space is a universal aspect of human experience in general and poetic experience in particular. The purpose of this paper is to show how poets conceptualize space with a particular reference to the use of spatial preposition in. The main interest is in the interplay of the agent and the environment with respect to spatial orientation. The result of the research is seven semantic mental models. The article has been conceived as a contribution to the field of spatial semantics with the view of in as a form of epistemic marking.
