"At a time when poetic experiments have grown weary, when petty self-referentiality and the lamentations of the civic self have replaced the thrills of the exponential Self, when the benevolent propagandistic impulse, far more insidious than that imposed by totalitarian ideologies, manifests itself with irrepressible ease, a poetry that looks upward, that contemplates stellar combustions and perceives quanta of light, that investigates multiple universes and the entire existence itself solely through the lens of incorruptible thought and major acts of consciousness seems, if not impossible, at least of maximum strangeness. Despite this assumption, drawn directly from the configuration of the contemporary lyrical phenomenon, a discourse such as that contained in Dumitru Găleşanu Axioms of Infinity proves that everything is possible and that minor times have no way of supressing or thwarting major stakes. In a certain way, Găleşanu’s discourse, paradoxical in its ability to be simultaneously geometric and alluvial, does precisely that, it eludes historical time, escapes from the circumstances of concrete life imperceptibly transforms itself into a surprising oracular voice."
