„Generația războiului” – poezia traumei, trauma poeziei
“The War Generation” – the Poetry of Trauma, the Trauma of Poetry

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the poetry of the Romanian War Generation, proposing to reread the ‘transitive’ poetry of ‘Albatross’ group (Geo Dumitrescu, Dimitrie Stelaru, Ion Caraion et al.), in order to show how this literature develops the traumatic experience of the Second World War. The analysis focuses on the stylistic consequences of thematising the war, given the obvious distortion of poetic language in accordance with the deformed world it tries to codify. Therefore the approach is less interested in the capacity of poetry to represent, on aesthetic criteria, a resistance knot against terror, and more inter- ested in poetry’s capacity of reinventing itself on ethic bases, as an insurgent response to the violence of History.
