„HYMNS" OF IOAN ALEXANDRU
„HYMNS" OF IOAN ALEXANDRU

Summary/Abstract: Ioan Alexandru is part of the ’60s generation of Romanian lyric poetry, the so-called “Labiș” generation. I see that Marian Popa in his recent History of Romanian Literature, from today to tomorrow, does not consider this group of poets - which included Nichita Stănescu, Marin Sorescu, Cezar Baltag, Adrian Păunescu, Ana Blandiana, Constanța Buzea, Grigore Hagiu, Cezar Ivănescu, Gheorghe Pituț and others. - as a generation, but as a time when we can talk about a new quality of freedom to write. The fact is that through this generation (however, generation is more appropriate to call it), Romanian poetry regains its specific status and reconnects with the great interwar poetry, brutally interrupted by the proletarian poetry of 1948-1960. Ioan Alexandru is the most important religious poet of the Romanians. He was a man of high spirituality, a man with a holy life, completely devoted to Jesus Christ and the Romanian people. Among our politicians, ready to swallow a toad every morning and immediately adopt the convictions of the one who gives more, Ioan Alexandru legitimized himself literally in front of the miners with the Hymns of Transylvania, Moldova and Wallachia, his books main. He shouted from the rostrum: "I am the author of the Hymns of Transylvania and Moldova."
