"Dumitru Găleșanu is a rare poet nowadays (and not only nowadays). His metaphysical, authentic and irrepressible vocation opposes the aesthetic lightness without a real spiritual creativity of the most contemporary poets immersed in the dailiness of things, conjuncture and minimalism, in a mimetic modern era (N. Frye). In his poems, the tangible elements of reality that incite his eye, heart, thought and word acquire a metaphysical wing that elevates them to transcendence, projected on a cosmic screen that valorizes them. The vibration of the heart and thought is a priority in his poetry together with the spiritual vision, combining the reality of the "up-to-date" knowledge with the poetic imaginary, its rhythm dictating the layout of the verses, many times placed in multiple calligramic configurations."
