GEO DUMITRESCU - INTERROGATION AND SARCASM

Summary/Abstract: Geo Dumitrescu's books reconstruct the journey of an author that influenced to an extremely great extent the Romanian lyricism after the Second World War in its deepest structures and manifestations. In this way, we can see that Geo Dumitrescu's poetic approach has its starting point in an attitude of revolt, of inadhesion to a counterfeit, unnatural reality; a poet with an undeniable "penchant" for the real, Geo Dumitrescu assumes the prerogatives of sarcasm and irony out of an acute sense of inadequacy of literary expression to the data of the concrete. Acutely feeling the poetic word as an alienated and alienating way of communicating, improper to an authentic aesthetic dialogue, the author uses a "democratization" of poetic language, restricting the scale of consecrated vocables and relativizing the amplitude of themes with a consolidated, but otherwise constraining prestige.
