Emil Botta. Ipostazele oniricului
Emil Botta. The Hypostases of the Oneiric

Summary/Abstract: Emil Botta is one of the most original Romanian poets. He assumed the condition of the damned poet and refused to be included in any pre-established category. He willingly created a mask for himself and played a part. Nevertheless, this was more than just an image since it actually reflected his true inner self. The poet was acutely aware of the profound distinction between the “face” and the “mask”, between the spirit and the body.His poetry is a singular one in the 20th Century Romanian literature. It is situated somewhere in between the disabused meditation and the ontic ceremony, the poet trying to perceive beyond the horizon of reality into the mysterious horizon of transcendence.
