Abstract

This essay traces the evolution of Dorin Tudoran’s poetics, the mutations from one volume to another, starting from the hypothesis that the theme of exile is defining for all the poet’s work. I have tried to capture the stages of this exile, its points of departure and expression, Dorin Tudoran’s relationship with the political system, and, above all, the causes that generated an inversion in the natural order: Tudoran’s entire work seems to be the product of a biographical event that, from a diachronic point of view, marks only the author’s last volume. How poetry prefigured biography in the case of Dorin Tudoran calls for a conceptualization of “exile” beyond its basic meaning, that of crossing (willingly or unwillingly) geographical boundaries

Key-words: exile; internal exile; rupture; subversion; foreigner
