THE PALIMPSEST OF POETIC SENSIBILITY

The volume "Poems" illustrates the strong desire of the poet Octavian Paler to overcome certain limitations, internal and external, thus the poetic self-questioning generates an identity situated between bounded and unbounded. In these poems, an imaginary is being built, whose itinerary can be achieved vertically through an oscillatory descent and ascent, but also horizontally, the word having an ontological force. Thus, we grouped the dominant symbols of this specific poetry that always reveals in any context, the fundamental unity of several areas of the real. Through a hermeneutic, thematic, critical and mythical interpretation of the bookish character and of the hypothesis based on a theory of lyrical selves a close-reading analysis of a volume of poetry appears.
