Ante*metafizica

Ante*metafizica: antologie lirică, ediția a 2-a revăzută și adăugită, is a Romanian anthology of poems by Dumitru Găleșanu, published in 2018. In the text entitled «Argument», the author recalls the moments in his childhood when he fell in love with poetry and describes the influences of his native environment, as well as the impact of the Primary School in his native village, a small plain town located on the right bank of the Olt River, the views of the blue days and nights of his childhood, which filled his soul with tranquility and amazement in front of the magical greatness of the world. Găleșanu considers poetry to be an intrinsic part of his own being, and in this context he metaphysically sketches the figure of the creator under the wind of history, thus offering an original perspective on the universe contemplated by the poet, unlimited in shapes and colors, like a living hologram preserved in indefinite time by light. In his preface, the critic A.I. Brumaru explores the cosmogonic and poetic ideas of the anthologized works, seeing that man's habitation on earth is based on the poetic, and the poetic creation brings man poetically to the «Earth in eternity», that Găleșanu's poetics is simultaneously construction and thought, a novel reflection on the essence of things and the universe in which we live. Towards the end, the poet praises the temptation to remain anchored in the phenomenal and aesthetic landscape of poetic discourse, reflecting on the relationship between the physical and the non-physical, revealing the importance of metaphysical thinking and experiencing the subtle energies that sustain reality.
