  Abstract:  A Few Wild Words: The Intellectual and Poetic Turning Point of Fondane. This article analyses the intellectual and poetic turning point of Benjamin Fondane, starting from A Few Wild Words, the introduction he wrote for his volume Landscapes. Setting side by side A Few Wild Words by Fondane and Der Meridian by Paul Celan, this study traces, by means of a comparative analysis of these texts, the close poetic interconnection between the two authors coming from Moldova and Bucovina, both historical regions of Romania destroyed by the horror of two world wars. Furthermore, this study examines the profound ennui and the kind of melancholy cruelty, typically Moldavian, which Fondane and Celan share in their specific way of writing poetry.

Keywords: Fondane, Fundoianu, Romanian literature, Celan, comparative literature, Holocaust, poetry, exile literature.
