This article refers to the poetry of Dumitru Crudu. There are analyzed hypostasis of the poetic self (hitrionic self, frenetic self, reintegrated self) in relation to the fracturism and, at the same time, to the poetry of 80s and late 2000s. The author is interested in changes that occur from one volume of Dumitru Crudu to another in terms of the representations of the poetic ego. There is made reference to the impact that might these representations have on the evolution of Romanian poetry.
