Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the lyrical work of Romanian poet Ion Mureşan, arguing that he is probably the single great poet that has not written a poem in the classic meaning of the word. In Ion Mureşan's case, poetry may only be described, and thus all his poems are poems about poetry, drawing the entrance and exit into and from the poem, but never possesing the status of true poems. All of Mureşan's work is presented as an art of copying visions and transcribing emotions that are experienced instantaneously and corporalized by the consciousness.
