Summary/Abstract: This present paper is a fragment of a more elaborated study which treats the poetic work of Adrian Păunescu, which is still an unexploited field, although full of resources. The skepticism with which it is viewed, due to the political regime in which the author created, still left enough room for interpretation. Through this paper we tried to detach from the preconceived ideas on this subject and to look critically, from a stylistic point of view, at some of his writings, those that fit into the lyrical genre and into the theme of love. Our research began with the documentation of the author's biography, then with his bibliography, and finally with the related critical references. Being not only a complex personality, but also a prolific writer, the sources, both primary and secondary, are quite extensive. We aim to interpret a big part of his poetry through primordial elements and get some conclusions.
