Klaus Martens writes about the - massive - poetry of Traian Pop Traian's in the 2013 published poetry book Die 53. Woche , written in free rhythms and with punctuationless verses : The present book is more than the historical document of a never-silent lyrical voice of great power. In his lyrical documents of rebellion against a stifling order it is the indispensable voice of literary and political revolution. You are listening. Georg Scherg states in the afterword of the book: Traian Pop Traian is without reservation as the ›rebel‹ of the eighties, as ›angry‹, if not as the ringleader among the Romanian poets in the resistance against the dictatorship.
