Summary/Abstract: Beyond the precariousness of everyday life, Alexandru Mușina perceives the universe and the cultural past with an ironic and parodic eye, his poems with an eclectic air being defined by a mixture of acute notation and a volute of the imaginary, of provocative sarcasm and parodic demystification. In fact, Musina's poetry sums up the constant clash between emotions, memory, liveness and the modulations of the text, which is quite spectacular in a "poet of the real" (Eugen Simion), of the dramas of subjectivity and of the configuration of a de-centred reality, transcribed in an authenticist spirit, as a slice of life, of immediate reality, in a writing that is neutral, equidistant, sceptical and cynical at the same time.
