Keywords: Ion Barbu; poetry; modernism; ideas; geometry
Summary/Abstract: Ion Barbu's poetry is the expression of a spirit devoured by knowledge, by experience under the sign of pure poetic ideas, a spirit that has risen to the „intellectual manner of the Lyre”. In the view of Ion Barbu, abstracted from the ephemeral, poetry is a „second game” a purer, sublimated reality. Although based on the experience of life, poetry is not to be confused with it, poetry represents a second universe, and possibly a „saved azure.”
