About Dumitru Găleșanu
Born 1955. Dumitru Găleșanu is a Romanian jurist, poet, writer, visual artist, illustrator and judge.
Dumitru Găleșanu (Romanian pronunciation: [ seduced by the marvelous dance of ideas and that the density of abstractions in relation to the Poetic determines that some texts transforming into fields of confrontation, often dramatic, between the will to power (into expression!) of the Poetical and that (into abstraction!) of the Philosophical.
Dumitru Găleșanu became known as a writer and philosophical poet due to his lyrical-philosophical poems with cosmological and metaphysical influences, where he speculated on the latest achievements of contemporary exact sciences, particularly in the cutting-edge fields of modern physics, as well as for his ability to explore existential themes related to being and the meaning of life, but also sensitive human themes such as love and emotional contrasts, as is the case with the poems included in some of his volumes, among which: Emoții în Multivers, Pe corzile luminii, Însemnele materiei, Ante*metafizica: antologie lirică, etc.
His literary style is characterized by a unique poetic sensitivity and a certain musical expressiveness,
as well as by a particular rhetoric, his writings being founded on a complex observation of the realities of the surrounding world and human nature. Moreover, the graphic arrangement of the verses in most of his poetic texts is probably related to the special technique of the calligrams of Guillaume Apollinaire, the famous surrealist French poet, author of the book entitled Calligrammes.
Găleșanu's most famous work is Luminile omului: lirica filosofică, a poetic-philosophical volume written in Romanian during the COVID-19 pandemic and published in 2020, whose original version was subsequently translated and published in both English and Italian.
Philosophically, Găleșanu's poetic art and its cosmological themes in the Romanian literature context have contributed to the affirmation of the contemporary poetry
