Summary/Abstract: Claudia Millian (b. 1887 - d. 1961) was a Romanian Symbolist poet, who also wrote theatre plays and two volumes of memoirs. In addition, she was also a painter. She published her first article in 1906 and her first volume of poetry in 1914, following other two volumes of poetry. Influenced by the French Symbolism and also by the national symbolist writers, such as Ion Minulescu, her husband, Millian created poems full of symbolistic themes. The correspondence of colours, the smells, the dream, the synesthesia, the symbolist landscape (the city, the park), the autumn description or the illness and the neurosis are some of the characteristics that undoubtedly include Claudia Millian in the group of Romanian Symbolist representatives.
