Being one of the most significant contemporary poetesses, Mariana Codruţ creates substantial effects in the structure of compressed sentences, which have an essential role in constructing the message. The current paper aims to examine the unique features that her poetry has developed for some decades. The poetics of existence surpasses the confrontation with spatial and temporal limits, and requires a holistic way of thinking about the place of humans in the world, which goes beyond the being-action dichotomy. The paper highlights the islanding process, and (starting from Deleuze’s remarks on Robinson Crusoe) emphasizes the difference between Defoe’s character and the lyrical voice. Thus, in Mariana Codruţ’s writings, the second genesis makes existence understood as continuous poetic creation, reflecting the mental atlas that allows the Omni vision to replace the ego vision. The poetess’ creative capacity resides in the position enabled by different feelings, completed by an ethical swing. Conceived as life acts (with distillation, intentness and dissemination), the poems do not avoid the (post)violent world, the images of power, the process of hybridization, and the touch of essentiality. Beyond the varying employment of connotation, poetry is the pulse, the truth, and the ascending way of living.
