Summary/Abstract: This study presents the work of a naive author, Irénke Rozsnyai. She was born in 1953 in the village of Călărași, Cluj county, and lived most of her life in Suceagu. From a young age she became ill with an incurable disease that affected her ability to move. Thus, she had to lock herself in the house, becoming more and more lonely. Writing and poetry became a possible escape for her. Most of her poems have a gloomy tone, the disease leaving its imprint in the content of the texts. That is why for her the motivation for writing is her loneliness caused by an illness, and she is seeking solace by formulating her thoughts and feelings, often oppressive.
