Poetică metafizică

Dumitru Găleșanu

Romanian Poetry Translations Into Italian

Poetică metafizică or Poetica metafisica (2019), is a Romanian-Italian bilingual collection of metaphysical poetry by Dumitru Găleșanu. The book's motto, conceived by the author, suggests the harmony between science, philosophy and pure art, highlighting the innocent nature of the poetic universe, and from the text of its own preface it follows that it puts in the forefront of the dialogue with the reader the complexity of the social phenomenon of the perfection of the human personality through artistic ideals, but also the exponential evolution of formal constructions of expression. He emphasizes the impact of modern scientific discoveries on art and artificial intelligence and sees that although artificial intelligence can create new styles of art, it cannot replace the specific human mood and emotion. Convinced of the importance of metaphysical thinking and of the experimentation of the subtle energies that manifest physical reality, inspired by the tradition of universal classical lyric and cultivating a metaphysical language of high resonance, through the works reproduced in the volume, the author often dwells on the great themes of knowledge, thus transmitting an elevated and diversified cultural message to the reader. At the end of the book, the critic Mircea Martin remarks the « pathetic dynamism and spectacular innocence » of Găleșanu's verses, highlighting the interference of ancient and postmodern literary motifs. As a conclusion to this book, he considers that the author's goal is to rediscover « an essential nature and an essential humanity » through poetry, emphasizing the « cosmodern logic » of his creation.
