Stefan Augustin Doinas and the neomodernist poetry

Summary/Abstract: The poetry of Stefan Augustin Doinas is contoured by an urgent need of harmony and rationality, seeking its effigies in the values of the eternal poetry, which are transcribed with a “humility” that gives value to that “major imitation” the poet refers to in an essayistic passage: “the great truths were uttered long ago and the function of the artist today is only that of providing a new expression of them” . The poet, the artist is general, re-stages the great truths and myths of humanity, refusing himself the pride of invention and only assuming that somehow exterior, formal candid condition of restyling, rewriting, reconstruction of some initial models. As a matter of fact, the formal classicism of this poetry was properly associated with a temptation of the abysses of expressionist nature, the song of the origins being intoned by the poet with perfect harmony and melodic rigor; because of these elements, Doinas’s poetry is less anchored in the world’s geography, extracting its benefits from a continuous swinging between the underworld, initial spaces and the superior spaces of thought, of ideality, therefore the quixotic poem of Stefan Augustin Doinas is, on one hand, elemental, plasticized as a return to the origins and, on the other, represented as a ascension on high, a spiritual climbing, in verses that seek to give off the roots of the human being, concomitantly drawing its essential, utopian and revelatory contour.
