            „I have read the poem Budila Express many times, always with the feeling and the lucid intellectual realization that it is a generational poem, a collective rather than an individual ars poetica. It is, truly, the epitomizing poem of ‘Generation 80’ and of Romanian poetry thirty-five years ago. There are quite a few poets of that generation whom I enjoy reading (poets who have indeed left a mark on our literature) but Alexandru Muşina was not actually among the ones I started with; his turn came a bit later, and only after I had read my Mircea Cărtărescu, Ion Mureşan, Traian T. Coşovei, Magda Petreu, Magda Cârneci (or Ghica, by her original pen name), Liviu Ioan Stoiciu, Aurel Pantea, and so forth. I only got to Alexandru Muşina and Mariana Marin a decade or so later, for no specific reason other than that it took their books a bit longer to reach me. But here I’ve got a confession to make: It is not the irony and parody in Muşina’s poetry that really appealed to me in the first place, but its sober-toned sequences and its ample, ritualistic developments. It is true that this poet’s gravity has always been closely shadowed by irony or self-irony, but the latter still only comes in acceptable portions, distilled, typically, through profundity. An out-and-out ironic and parodic Muşina would hardly have left a deep imprint on me; the sober one, though, with his subdued irony, has made quite an unexpected impact.”
