Abstract: The article proposes a hermeneutic approach to the poetic creation of Leo Bordeianu, a Bessarabian writer of the eighties generation, who stands out from his congeners not only by the discretion of his presence in the Chișinau literary environment, but also by his artistic formula devoid of passionate accents and mannerist exaltations, but not of ontological truth, of depth. Leo Bordeianu creates a contemplative poetry of the eye attracted by the chromatic dynamics of the natural landscape, an interrogative poetry that revolves around issues of ecological, social, ethnic and national order, a religious poetry, of the search for God and self-discovery, and a subtle erotic poetry that metaphorises the eternal feminine. The article carries out an analysis and interpretation of the author’s exponential poetic texts, selected from various volumes published since the year of his literary debut.
