  Article:   RETROSPECTION ON THE POETIC IDENTITY: ANDREI CODRESCU.

Authors:  LUMINITA CHIOREAN. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The ambiguity, the humor, the paradox, the parody, the introspection, the ontological memory, anamnesis, the retrospective sequence, all weapons of survival, are the instruments of the prosastic writing of retro orientation in the nowadays postmodernism: over the archetypal archeology a diffused biographical topos is superimposed, in which the poet perceives the “cutting of the roots” by symbols of the human condition: alienation, outsider and exile. As an active rhetorical sign there is a common substitution for the text of the new literary cannon: the world as a borgesian library. The discursivity, the cutting of the lines (cut-up, the surrealist technique in the American da-da poems) associated with the mainstream technique of the journalistic style give the lines “respiration”, a possible world. The tension between escape and reconstruction as simultaneous manifestations of the transcendence in the search of sense or the “hunger for identity” institute “the person as a unique identity”.
