Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the manner in which the concept of alienation appears in Ileana Mălăncioiu’s poetry. The essay is organized in three parts. In the first part, we examined some of the avatars of the stranger, as they appear in the poet’s early poems and, then, in her transitional poems, the final stage of the ‘60s writer’s creation. The second part of our essay describes the mechanisms of alienation. In the final part of this paper, we will also analyze the alternatives that the poet finds to alienation. We must specify that alienation is not a theme of Ileana Mălăncioiu’s poetry as much as the search for saving solutions is.
