Visionary poetry

Visionary poetry and visionary poets are terms whose history harken back to the French poet Arthur Rimbaud (see his quote: "A poet makes himself a visionary through a long, boundless, and systematized disorganization of all the senses") and have been used in a few different contexts within the history of Romanian poetry. It may have been used for the first time to describe Octavian Goga's social-orientated poetry. (Ion Heliade-Rădulescu and especially Mihai Eminescu have also been described as such, but apparently much later.) The term has afterwards been used a few times, but most notably it is used today to describe poets that were (or still are) often described as neo-expressionist or post-expressionist.
Octavian Soviany, for instance, describes with this term poets from several different generations/promotions: Cezar Ivănescu, Mihai Ursachi, Paul Daian, Ionel Ciupureanu, Ruxandra Cesereanu, Constantin Virgil Bănescu, Cosmin Perța, Teodor Dună, Dan Coman, Claudiu Komartin, Ștefan Manasia, Rita Chirian, Marin Mălaicu-Hondrari and Gabriel DalișOctavian Soviany, Cinci decenii de experimentalism.

In various other contexts, Mircea Cărtărescu, Magda Cârneci, Ruxandra Novac, Florin Partene, Marius Conkan etc. were also described as "visionaries".
