A few great poems, which show that Caraion is an upgraded Bacovia and that the Romanian poet really understood and created an original form of nihilism. Probably Caraion wouldn't have published most of the pieces though, because some require extensive rewriting. I would place Caraion in the same league with Cioran, who is much more famous than him, but shares his angst, pessimism and despair.
