THE DEFINING ASPECTS OF THE BESSARABIAN POST-WAR POETRY

The literature of 1950s and 1960s represent a stage of transition to a new system of artistic conventions, towards a new poetic concept. It is a very important stage in the elucidation of the return to the spiritual matrix, the resurrection of national consciousness. It is important to be aware of the cultivated aesthetic program, to identify and to evaluate the metamorphoses of poetics in a historical period dominated by the precepts of socialist dogma. The arts of poetry become essential expressions, at least at the level of statements, of a self-consciousness of poetry, of poetry in its authentic sense. In this order, the arts of poetry are treated as creative replies to opportunistic literature.
