The Evidence of Textual Narcissism in the Eighties Lyric from the Left of the Prut

n the eighty’s poetry from the left of the Prut, a kind of self-referential writing is highlighted, defined by literary exegesis by the term textual narcissism (Cristian Moraru). This own lyrical manner belongs the poets Emilian GalaicuPăun and Nicolae Leahu and It supposes the concentration on one’s own linguistic resources and their experimentation in the field of language. The developed lyrical constructions, frequently used in the work of these poets, they bring language games, quotations, allusions, parodies, rewritings, etc. Although, both poets don’t ignore the ideational plan, which an attentive reader can perceive, the finality of their writing consists, however, in the creating of the discourse, which It detaches itself from any other reality and It exists autonomously, being self-sufficient. Thus, such a poem returns the myth of Narcissus, stating the concept of self-referential and self-contemplative writing.
