Summary/Abstract: The reformation of the poetic canon initiated by the fifth decade’s generation views both the aesthetic identity of poetry, and its mission in relation to the world. Aesthetically, the renewal movement pleads for the abolition of aestheticism, of isolation in literaturity of poetry and for its return to realism, to the immediate existence, seen in its whole phenomenology and complexity. The act of creation has a moral dimension, through which poetry, by its critical spirit, puts itself in the service of man and truth. Poetry becomes an act of conscience and dignity of the individual, oppressed by history, political regimes and ideologies, a victim of his own delusions, a way of protest, of resistance and survival. These are instances which the leader of the ”lost generation”, Geo Dumitrescu, vulnerable himself in front of the history’s chimeras, reveals in an act of reflection and self-reflection on the role of poetry and generations in history. It is an exemplary act of consciousness, lucidity and dignity of the writer, who wants to remain faithful to his mission in the world.
