Chisinau, 03 August /MOLDPRES/ – The National Museum of Literature Mihail Kogalniceanu and Onisifor Ghibu Public Library, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research (MECC), organised today at the Writers' House of Moldova event: "I am the saddest poet in Europe. Eugen Cioclea at the age of 70": a photodocumentary exhibition, a literary medal and launch of volume "Ineditul Eugen Cioclea" (The novelty Eugen Cioclea).

Interviewed by agency, the director of the National Museum of Literature Mihail Kogalniceanu, Vasile Malanatchi, said that this exhibition is an attempt to reconstruct a destiny. "Eugen Cioclea is one of the leading representatives of Basarabian postmodernism. He is an important poet who can not go on to establish any poetic hierarchy in Moldova," specified Vasile Malanetchi.

At his turn, literary critic Ion Ciocanu stated that Eugen Cioclea is an original poet, so original that he has not been localised and understood for a long time. "It took us a long time to accommodate his literary way of existence and succeeded with the help of literary critic Eugen Lungu, which wrote book "Portret de grup" (The group portrait) about postmodernist generation. From there it started that everyone understood Eugen Cioclea, even if some people do not understand it deeply either," noted Ion Ciocanu. In the context, writer Vladimir Besleaga pointed out that Eugen Cioclea had a real life of poet, and poetry meant for him everything.

The literary critic Vitalie Raileanu told the agency that "The novelty Eugen Cioclea" is an anthological volume, which contains all the references about Eugen Cioclea, his interviews, as well as a bibliography and annotated catalog of volumes signed by the late poet. "Eugen Cioclea is a poet with a singular aesthetic way and with the most original aesthetic vision on contemporary poetry," said Vitalie Raileanu.

Eugen Cioclea was born on 04 August 1948 in village Terebna, Rascani district. He studied at the Faculty of Mathematics of the State University of Moldova (1966-1967) and at the Faculty of Mathematics of "M. Lomonosov" in Moscow (1968-1971). He was a translators in various institutions, a worker and an automated machine tool changer. He returned to Moldova from 1992 to 1995 and was the editor-in-chief of newspaper "Tineretul Moldovei". He signed volumes  "Numitorul comun" (The common denominator), "Alte dimensiuni" (Other dimensions), and "Dati totul la o parte ca sa vad" (Get everything apart for me to see). A post-mortem volume "Antologic" (Anthological) appeared at Cartier Publishing House. He left life on 08 October 2013 in Chisinau.
