The Oneiric Poetry in Romanian Literature. Leonid Dimov and Emil Brumaru

Summary/Abstract: The technique of the Dimovian oneiric is set up, of course, by using reality data which, by capricious juxtaposition become unrecognizable. It is not the shape perfectly articulated of the object, which causes disquiet, but the unusual relations which objects have with one another, their strange syntax, unusual arrangement, the odd angle from which they are perceived. If we make plastic art for comparison, we can detect similarities between the aggregation of the Dimovian oneiric image and some paintings belonging to Magritte or Dali, in which the objects are sketched with detail elaborateness, with mimetic unyieldingness, the terrifying fascination resulting in these paintings, as in the case of Dimov’s poetry, from the bizarre character of juxtapositions or from the unnatural spatial representation of the oneiric compilations impeccably formulated as entities. Contemplative poet by definition, Emil Brumaru brings in the Romanian lyricism of today the universe of the “boudoir”, of childhood and graceful eros, in a jubilant, carnival-like, refined writing style. Emil Brumaru’s poetry was righteously defined from the perspective of a studied naivety, of a candor frame, of a play that takes itself seriously, all that doubled by a refined finesse of the lyrical drawing.
