NICHITA STĂNESCU. A POETICS OF THE FRAGMENTARY

Summary/Abstract: Many of Nichita Stănescu's poems have the vibration of a poetic creed, the lyrical images exposing a conception of art, poetry, incompleteness, but also a poetics of the fragmentary, the scenario of creation being energized by the idea of sacrifice, self-sacrifice and communion through love. Existence itself is perceived under the sign of paradox and antinomies, whereby the multiple, the spiritual and the corporeal, the dynamic and the static seem to be devoted to the complementary and fascinating meanings of existence, the relation of the self to being ambiguous, insofar as affirmation and negation, essence and phenomenality, come together in the combinatory games of consciousness and language. Fragmentary writing meets the fragmentary world, major meanings dissolve, they reflect the disintegration of the coherence of things.
