Valeriu Anania’s poetry - a synthesis of philosophical and mythical language

Author(s): Constantin Petrea
Subject(s): Romanian Literature
Published by: Renaşterea Cluj
Keywords: Valeriu Anania; poetry; religious poetry; myth; Anamneze; symbolic elements; word;

Summary/Abstract: The present paper analyses the volume “Anamneze”, especially the poems which bare this title, and it tries to prove that Valeriu Anania’s poetry is neither one belonging to a predictable (monotonous) religious writer nor a transposition with no artistic value of some symbolic elements of Christian origin, but a rewriting of a lyrical, philosophical and mythical universe with countless symbolic interpretations. That is why the study does not exclude the religious aspect from the poetry of the author, but it considers this component only a starting point of his creation, destined to reveal the fact that poems are limitations, embodiments of a sensitive artistic universe which have a meaning belonging not only to Christianity, but to any form of spiritual existence. The entire lyrical universe rests on the symbol of the word, with its double meaning - divine and spiritual, which integrates all the other elements creating a mythical world that can be absorbed through the call to eternity, coming back to the Self, to the primordial elements of existence.
