Summary/Abstract: The poet and feminist Angela Marinescu stand out through her ideologically unrestrained poetics, which display characteristics inherent to neomodernism, expressionism, and postmodernism alike. In Angela Marinescu’s poetry, eros and corporeality represent two aesthetic dimensions through which a radical vision of existence is articulated. The body is portrayed as a space of suffering and lucidity, while eros emerges as a destabilizing force, devoid of idealization. Through this poetics of extreme corporeality, the lyrical discourse subverts traditional conventions and affirms the body as a place of authenticity and existential truth.
