Summary/Abstract: In decrypting Adrian Alui Gheorghe’s lyrics (a poet of the 1980s), we discover a romantic nucleus and pathos, as well as a postmodernist technique. His poetic debut takes place in 1989, under the burden of a serious communist censorship. With an elegiac basis, his poetry does not blend with the textualism of the poets in Bucharest or with the western biographical style through which the 1980’s poets were trying to reconnect themselves with the western lyricism by breaking the official canon. Alui Gheorghe’s poetry focalizes his lyrics on the society-poetry-divinity relationship. The seriousness of his lyrical discourse is attenuated by a ludic attitude, by the humor, a humor specific to his nature, manifested through irony and parody. His epical lyricism, visible from the very beginning, together with the dramatization, both in unison with the poet’s intention to banter reality in a skeptical vision, represent a constant of his creation.
