FLORIAN-ANDREI VLAD, SPACE, PLACE, NARRATIVE IN JOHN QUINN’S POETRY. BUCUREȘTI: EDITURA UNIVERSITARĂ, 2020

Summary/Abstract: In his perceptive monograph of a significant poet, Florian Andrei Vlad sees John P Quinn as asserting and confirming his sense of self. This sense and of belonging to a common American identity is achieved, in Vlad’s opinion, by means of the poet’s artistic articulations having to do with, and in response to, cultural alterity. Quinn territorializes concrete places, thus artistically appropriating them, accommodating them in wider spatial cartographies. These cartographies that he forges and the various poetic narratives he puts forth, tell a lot about his poetic world, about his confirmation of a narrative of the self, what E. Erikson calls a firm ego identity, what F.A. Vlad considers to be a remarkable fusion of experiential and artistic identity itineraries.
