Ilarie Voronca

Ilarie Voronca stood as a leading figure of the Romanian avant-garde, initially a pioneer of Constructivism, he later evolved into a refined poet deeply influenced by Surrealism and, particularly during his time in Paris, echoed the spirit of Walt Whitman. His work left a significant mark, inspiring numerous poets throughout his life and beyond, most notably those associated with the 'Integral' and 'unu' circles, as well as the poets of the 1980s generation.
