Summary/Abstract: The book "A Poetics of Utopia" by Mircea Crăciun constructs itself as a solid and intriguing study, the author revealing himself as a gifted and plenty-documented researcher. Mircea Craciun would recharge some hyper-used and implicitly long digested stereotyped syntagms with new connotations, he would amend the already vain discourses related to the concept of utopia, offering as a result an endless line of variables; the book is diligently synthesizing all previous valences of the given term, accurately pointing out the ups and downs of utopia's definitions along time and history but the volume is ultimately rewarding the reader with some original and innovative correlations, acceptable perspectives on the matter.
