Summary/Abstract: Dumitru Micu affirms that the first poet signature he met in the magazine Gandirea isn’t by Lucian Blaga but Adrian Maniu’s. In the magazine pages, he published the poem Ratacirea, then followed by the poem Soldatul Cristea, subsequently integrated in series Razboiul, soon became Cartea pacii from collection Versuri din proza. With a sporadic collaboration until year 1934, Adrian Maniu showed that as long as he published in the magazine pages he was a tributary who approached ’’the religious sensibility of the Romanian people”, as sprecified the magazine mentor, Nichifor Crainic. Adrian Maniu’s traditionalism reside especially from folk sources on which is grafted the religious vein of a poem, whence advances the biblical element. For Adrian Maniu, the traditionalism determines a returning towards space matrix, by updating the word form, for which ’’ the ideal form of art is variable, because variable is also the temparament of the creative artist and also the receptive sensibility of the public. The reception of the poetic message in the lyricism of Adrian Maniu represents for gandirist literature, and not only „a refuge” in front of the originality which surpass the poetic artifice promoted somewhat with nonchalance by others writers. The fact that the artist is among the first signatories of „Gandirii” it doesn’t mean totally that he promoted through poetry ideology gandirist. The religious sensibility, appreciated by Nichifor Crainic in a interview of Tudor Soimaru with Nichifor Crainic represents an advance whicht defines a traditional poetic concept of Maniu’s writer. In poem so in prose and dramarturgy, he uses the traditional inspiration and modern sources.
