Ludicul ca artă poetică. Ion Barbu
Play as Art of Poetry. Ion Barbu

Summary/Abstract: The theme of play was contemplated in both fiction and nonfiction. If we start from modernism, play encompasses a very wide notion, thus it can be a characteristic of a large variety of postmodern Romanian poetry. This category includes not only the last period of Eminescuan creating endeavor, glosses and odes (in which the antic metrics was used), Macedonian parnasianism, symbolism and expressionism typical of George Bacovia or Lucian Blaga, poetry of antipoets such as Tudor Arghezi, hermetism and infrarealism of Ion Barbu, anvargadism, dadaism, surrealism, as well as contemporary poetry of Nichita Stănescu or Marin Sorescu. Literature itself represents a play of time and space, significant epical motion of epochs and different models, and poetry is a play of words which creates an imaginary, fascinating and complex space. With modern poets such as Ion Barbu the poetry participates in the play and above all poetry offers an entrance to childhood. This is not children’s poetry; on contrary, words are toys in the hands of the creator-poet who creates a more pure fictive world.
