Summary/Abstract: Engaging poetry? Red Horizons. The Emergence of Irony in Romanian Post-war Poetry. Starting from the Sartrean prejudice according to which the notion of poetry is inconsistent with that of engagement, this study explores how the instauration of the Communist regime after World War II determines the engagement of poetry in relation to reality. Unlike militant engagement, this is a type of engagement through irony, a concept seemingly incompatible with poetry, at first glance.
