Angela Marinescu. The Physiology of Nihilism

Angela Marinescu’s poetry is defined by a poetics of negativity, and the neo-expressionist drive for spasm and metaphysics meets the predilection for the contrasting, introductory, white expression. There is in this poetry a rhetoric of excess, of the denudation of the word, of the radicalization of perception, in a writing with reverberations of acute negativity, in which the degradations of corporality, the spasms of the ego, the outrage of the daily, in contrasted, concentrated expression are rendered. Poetry is born from the naked experience, from the fantasies and fervours of the ego, but also from the lucid commitment in the construction and deconstruction of the vision, in a radicalized writing, which irretrizes with geometric rigor the inconsequential and fluctuating architecture of suffering.
