"A strange poetry is proposed to us by Dumitru Găleşanu, defying the limits of the poetic through his predilection for grand, resonant and abstract words, into which he instils a pathetic dynamism of a spectacular and rare innocence. Ancient and perennial literary motifs intertwine within the same poem with postmodern themes (some even of the most recent kind), yet the author’s plea is neither in favour of tradition nor of contemporaneity. His goal is the rediscovery, through poetry, of an essential nature and an essential humanity – a naturalness thanks to which the 'archetype of matter' might be held 'in the palm of the hand'. Dumitru Găleşanu proves to be a fervent follower of cosmodernity, the very logic of his poetry tends to be a cosmodern one."
