Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to come to terms with the poetry written by a young Romanian writer, Olga Ştefan, who published her books in the 2000’s – a period of astounding outburst of creativity in the field of poetry. It follows a fourfold outline: the recourse to associative poetics and multiple focalizations, the relation between body, concept and writing, the use of baroque techniques, especially geared towards mixing voices and plenteous figures, the insulation not only as a stronghold of recalibrated human beings, but also as a stimulus for polyphonic poetry writing. Undertaken in the light of resistance and metamorphosis, her poems do not celebrate the weirdness of imaginary, but a sparing alternative to the decentrede mental horizon.
