Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to explore the articulation of feelings from Mircea Cărtărescu’s early poetry. The new type of poetics representative of Generation ’80 in Romanian poetry, as well as of the volumes signed by the young poet, created innovative expressive means in Romanian literature within the postmodern vision of a crisis of language and under the cultural pressure of preexisting models. How can one express genuine love when the words are stale? How can one encapsulate the enormity of an experience in a spoiled language? The poetic resources of Mircea Cărtărescu’s poetic experiment have impacted on the tastes and sensibility of the new generations of readers.
