Opera poetică: vol. I
Volumul cuprinde poeziile din perioada 1971 (Invocatie nimanui) pina in 1981 (Democratia naturii).
„Indiferent de tema aleasa si de registrul in care o plaseaza (grav ori ironic, amar sau sentimental), poetul isi obtine efectele printr-o aparenta jonglerie de cuvinte, scoasa dintr-o inepuizabila fantezie lexical-asociativa; la un nivel mai profund, prin identificarea si actualizarea latentelor de expresivitate a acestora. Uzitate si uzate de limbajul comun, lustruite ori bruscate de versificatorii fara talent, cuvintele isi descopera aici resurse si raporturi secrete, fagase noi deschise intre ele, spre stupefactia admirativa a cititorului obisnuit si delectarea celui rafinat. Unuia i se ofera smaraldul: insolitul, exoticul, pretiosul, simbolicul; celuilalt, piperul vocabularului si al imaginatiei, grauntele de realism socant care face poezia mai iute si mai vie. Publicului de ultima generatie ar trebui totusi sa i se atraga atentia ca domnul acela coleric si logoreic, pe care il vedem mereu la televizor gesticulând si vociferând, intrerupându-l si contrazicându-l pe interlocutor, amestecând probleme grave cu bancuri de toata mâna, facând glume si rating, domnul acela purtând numele de Mircea Dinescu a fost odata un mare poet.”

Opera Poetica aka Poems by Mircea Dinescu
8 out of 10
Mircea Dinescu was on TVR Cultural aka The Cultural National Channel the other day, as the guest, or protagonist, I am not sure how this works, of the National Opera talks – they have a sort of cultural, elevated talk show, and if they have Andrei Plesu https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/20...
- We are all set!
Indeed, Mircea Dinescu mentioned Andrei Plesu a few times during his speech, which was a sort of storytelling, punctuated by some poems he read, and then the format requires some classical music, an aria from some opera, to be offered to the public in the hall, and the others, watching on the Cultural Channel at home
The poet and the philosopher have been friends – I am not sure what the situation is now – and in the communist days, when Ceausescu was a sort of Orange Jesus Avant la letter, these two were among the few dissidents we had, after 1989, a big number of frauds came out to claim revolutionary certificates, for the benefits
I took part in the revolution http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/r... this is the link to the copy of the article in Newsweek (once one of the massive publications, available around the world) that mentions my name, what I told Michael Meyers, their correspondent about the events
However, Mircea Dinescu was one of the leaders of the rebellion – a contested movement, some call it revolution, I was a revolutionary, no matter what else happened – and he deserves praise for his courage, stamina, vitality, efforts to push for change, democracy, a market economy and more such noble initiatives
- Mircea Dinescu is one of the heroes of those days
Now, there are quite a few flaws that are obvious, they were on display during this Conference at The Opera, for instance, there is acrimony, a vengeful side that pops up, I mean, when he talked about Gabriel Liiceanu, it was not exactly to attack one of the most important luminaries of this land, a noble man….
Gabriel Liiceanu https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/20... is one of the two most important men for our culture, if we are to make a Top 100 list, as they now have with the top 100, or more wealthy people (I gave a few lessons to one of those very folks, let me boast about that)
The poet mentioned his samizdat, the fact that he was under surveillance, before 1989, as one of the few who opposed Ceausescu openly, but Gabriel Liiceanu was not brave enough, if you listen to Dinescu…Or at least that is the suggestion I seemed to discern in one of those tales told on the stage of the Opera
Andrei Plesu https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/20... was himself exiled for his anti-communist views, he had to spend time in Tescani, a village far away from the capital, and there is a story I like to mention often at our club, written by the philosopher in La Portile Orientului, I think
At one point, there was a possibility to be published, but to have his name in print, he would have to open the book with some ‘homage to the Dear, Beloved Leader’, and Andrei Plesu was not at all keen to do that, regardless of the fact that all newspapers, books, television programs where in fact hymns to this idiot
So, the great intellectual decided to ask three friends, luminaries themselves, one was Alexandru Paleologu, nicknamed conu’ Paleologu, and he advised on going with the flow, you could not help it, this is the situation, the second, I forgot who it was – now the name of Tudor Vianu comes to mind, but I don’t know – is called
Tudor Vianu, if he was the one, was equivocal, on the one hand, I want to see your name in print, to have this joy, but on the other hand, I could recommend the usual ‘glory to the Beloved’, and we come to the third https://realini.blogspot.com/2014/02/... Constantin Noica
arguably, the greatest local philosopher, though I would choose Andrei Plesu – nevertheless, Constatin Noica said
- Dear, you do not mix with the hooligans
Or words to that effect, something I used as inspiration, and example in our conversations at the sauna, downtown, where there are some ignoble characters, lately, they plead for this far-right extremist who has won the first round of the presidential elections, now cancelled, because the fool had illegal interventions from…
- Russia
Now for my standard closing of the note with a question, and invitation – maybe you have a good idea on how we could make more than a million dollars with this http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/u... – as it is, this is a unique technique, which we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something and then make lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product, I just do not know how to get the befits from it, other than the exercise per se
There is also the small matter of working for AT&T – this huge company asked me to be its Representative for Romania and Bulgaria, on the Calling Card side, which meant sailing into the Black Sea wo meet the US Navy ships, travelling to Sofia, a lot of activity, using my mother’s two bedrooms flat as office and warehouse, all for the grand total of $250, raised after a lot of persuasion to the staggering $400…with retirement ahead, there are no benefits, nothing…it is a longer story, but if you can help get the mastodont to pay some dues, or have an idea how it can happen, let me know
As for my role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/r...
Some favorite quotes from To The Hermitage and other works
‘Fiction is infinitely preferable to real life...As long as you avoid the books of Kafka or Beckett, the everlasting plot of fiction has fewer futile experiences than the careless plot of reality...Fiction's people are fuller, deeper, cleverer, more moving than those in real life…Its actions are more intricate, illuminating, noble, profound…There are many more dramas, climaxes, romantic fulfillment, twists, turns, gratified resolutions…Unlike reality, all of this you can experience without leaving the house or even getting out of bed…What's more, books are a form of intelligent human greatness, as stories are a higher order of sense…As random life is to destiny, so stories are to great authors, who provided us with some of the highest pleasures and the most wonderful mystifications we can find…Few stories are greater than Anna Karenina, that wise epic by an often foolish author…’
‚Parturiunt montes, nascetur ridiculus mus’
“From Monty Python - The Meaning of Life...Well, it's nothing very special...Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.”
