Summary/Abstract: Starting from the poems recently written by Cristina Ispas and Luminiţa Amarie (authors who published their first books in 2007 and 2012), the paper will examine the joints between memory and some changes in space frame structure. As consequences of a sensory apprehension and of a kinesthetic approach (which are noticeable in the so-called “poem of walking”, suggested by Michel de Certeau) or brought about by the incentive graft of the essential truths, these joints highlight the shifts in traumatic disorders and outline space, corporal, mental and language (dis)continuities.
