Mai apropiat de spiritul avangardelor si al suprarealismului (din care a pornit)
este Florin Iaru, poet care descompune si recompune sintetic realitatea in
poeme contorsionate, schizoide, paradoxale, al caror sens final este aproape
indecelabil, energia poetica fiind pina la urma absorbita in intregime
de operatiile de decupare si colare a bucatilor incongruente de lume. (Mircea
Cartarescu)
Still closer to the spirit of the avant-garde and surrealism (from which he
emerged) is Florin Iaru, a poet who decomposes and recomposes reality synthetically,
in contorted, schizoid, paradoxical poems, whose final sense is almost indiscernible,
his poetic energy being in the end fully absorbed by the operations of cutting
and pasting the incongruous pieces of world. (Mircea Cartarescu)
"Copil teribil al grupului", inregistreaza un rasunator debut
editorial cu volumul Cantece de trecut strada, in care ludicul iconoclast
debordeaza in "absurd jovial" (Gh. Grigurcu), dand la
iveala o melancolie de adancime reala, camuflata la suprafata in
tonuri jucause, parodice. La cea mai inalta fictiune marcheaza o despartire
de "uniforma generatiei, prea stramta" (C. Regman), deschizand
volumul spre cosmarul unui banal cotidian, receptat neconcesiv, frenetic, trepidant,
cu nervii intinsi la incandescenta. (Stefan Borbely)
