Poetry: Potrivite (1927 "Suitable Words") - It Contained Poems On Religious Anguish and On
Arghezi’s reputation was established with his first poetry collection, Cuvinte
potrivite (1927; “Suitable Words”). It contained poems on religious anguish and on
sympathy for peasants that were characterized by violent imagery and innovative
prosody. In 1930 he published two novels detailing troublesome periods in his
life: Icoane de lemn (“Wooden Icons”), about his disillusioning experiences as a monk,
and Poaria neagră (“Black Gate”), about his imprisonment.
