Summary/Abstract: Considered “a new poet” and deemed “a valedictorian,” Dimitrie Stelaru (1917–1971) constitutes a telling example of a modernity viewed as surpassing the modernist radicalism represented mainly by purism and surrealism. Thus, for the Romanian poetry of 1937–1947, being modern is no longer synonymous with being a modernist.
