Summary/Abstract: Fracturism and Utilitarism are the main paradigms of the Romanian poetics of the Millenium, a turning point in the becoming of poetic post-post-modernism. The productivity of these manifestos, the congruity of the metadiscourse with the literary practice represent the objectives of this article, as well as the critical evaluation of the proeminent ‘actors’: Crudu, Ianus and Urmanov. In spite of specific concepts (authenticity, reactivity, subjectivity, sincerity) and principles (poetry as communication act, the seduction of the reader, the isomorphism between poetry and media discourse), the poetry of the Millenium generation is controversial and misunderstood.
