MARGINAL IDENTITIES IN MIRCEA IVĂNESCU’S POETRY

Summary/Abstract: In the context of '60s poetry, the work of Mircea Ivănescu represents a turning point. Unclaimed by any group and un-included in the landscape of that generation, the poet relies on ambiguity and metaphor, turning poetry into a third dimension of reality. While the poets of the '60s were concerned with building a super-individual mythology as an alternative to reality, Mircea Ivănescu was commencing the construction of an individual mythology, based on biographism and self-fictionalization. The present paper traces some of the particularities of Mircea Ivănescu's poetry, the same one that individualizes him within the perimeter of '60s literature.
