Poetry
Discursul soarelui
Not translated into English
Emilian Bucov · 1937
Synopsis
The verse of its author's Bucharest years: a poetry of the rostrum, made to be spoken aloud, which announces “the sunset of Parnassus” and rejects the poetry it calls bourgeois, Eminescu included. It attacks the bourgeois regime of the day, the way of life of the ruling classes and imperialism, in a proletarian, agitating vein where the example of Mayakovsky, whom the poet was then translating, can be felt.
Context
The book appeared in Bucharest in 1937, from the Șantier publishing house; the Princeps Poesis listing and Leo Butnaru see it as the poet's debut, which the Museum of Romanian Literature in Chișinău and the Transilvania Library place in 1932, with Clocotul muncii. China followed in 1938; these two books gather the verse of the Romanian period, and the museum sees in them the poems that made their author one of the tribune poets of the age. In Moscow there then appeared, from 1942 according to the same source, violently anti-Romanian volumes, a line held for four decades.
Who it is for
In Romanian, a poetry of the rally; it is worth knowing that its author will become one of the official bards of Soviet Moldavia.
Prizes and reception
The Dictionary of Romanian Writers of Bessarabia (2007), cited by the Chișinău museum, reads pathos in it and the imprint of Mayakovsky.
