Poezia lui Nicolae Leahu: de la metaforism la textualism

Abstract

The poet Nicolae Leahu is a notorious personality among the Bessarabian graduates of the
eighties. Making his debut with lyrical works which were marked by the metaphoric (the booklet Brownian
Motion, 1993), he counts on postmodernist techniques, especially on textualizing ones in The Personage
from the Poem (1997) and The Unnamed (2008). The poems included in these two volumes denote, first of
all, the scriptural experience of the author – he becomes an actant, an immanent instance of the text. The
textualistic implications in the poetry of Nicolae Leahu constitute the proof of the connection of this creation
to the concepts of modern lyrics.
