The condition of the poet and poetry in the lyrics of Nicolae Dabija

Along with the inescapable theme of love poetry, with the patriotic lyricism that aimed at the national rebirth of Bessarabian Romanians, or the poetry of religious sentiment, poetic arts or, rather, poetry about the status of the poet and poetry is one of the major themes of Dabijian creation . In the good tradition of genre creations in Romanian literature and in the descendants of some illustrious forerunners – starting with Eminescu, Coșbuc and Goga, continuing with Arghezi, Blaga and Barbu and ending with Labiș, Stănescu or Păunescu – Nicolae Dabija transfigures lyrically, in many of his creations, definitions of poetry or thoughts regarding the status of creators of art and even stories, with subliminal horticultural intention, addressed to congeners.
