Summary/Abstract: The poetic is the possibility of the language to say what is always apparently vague and that continually needs to be constructed, as an alternative way of accessing knowledge. In this possible "elsewhere", the poems of Gilda Vălcan (Romanian poetess, little known in Italy) challenge the reader, imposing the experience of a new universe that shakes the principles of what is considered firm, safe, ordinary, and trivial. This universe, in itself obscure and original – that is, founded on something that has nothing to do with the known, with the defined and with the representable –, witnesses a dialogue that is always in progress and in conflict with an interlocutor present/absent in the poetess's verses. By naming the surrounding world, Gilda Vălcan enters in its dimension, trying to give a space and a voice to her being in a continuous research of her own identity.
