Poetry
Momentul inimii
Not translated into English
Victor Teleucă · 1975
Synopsis
Verses of a new turn in the work of their author: a poetry described as deeply philosophical, unpublished and entirely renewed.
Context
The book appeared in Chișinău from the publisher Cartea Moldovei, in 1974 (in 1975 according to the list of works), and was reissued in 2003 by Litera. It opens a series of meditative collections: Încercarea de a nu muri, which appeared in 1980, the year of its author's State Prize, then Întoarcerea dramaticului eu in 1983. The poet was not published from 1985 to 2000; Theodor Codreanu ranks him among the great names of the sixties, alongside Nichita Stănescu and Marin Sorescu.
Who it is for
In Romanian; a poetry of meditation, closer to philosophy than to song, to be read slowly.
Prizes and reception
Gheorghe Mazilu saw in it an artistic achievement of the very first order in Moldovan poetry.
