Dumitru Păcuraru’s poetry sits between the limits established by Romul Munteanu in 1989 and Felix Nicolau in 2017. 

Romul Munteanu: „A rakish poetry in which the words collide like two trains coming from opposite directions on the same track, a paradoxical way of thinking which rarely arises from established national models, a brutal manner of entering in dialogue with the universe or with the loved woman, an inversion of somber or amusing states, a literature with several entrances and exits in a space with few words written by Dumitru Păcuraru. I do not know who this debut poet is with a way of stating words similar to a punch in the plexus.” 

Felix Nicolau: „Undoubtedly, Dumitru Păcuraru is an experienced and an experimental poet. You need subtlety to identify his poetic essence since the poet Dumitru Păcuraru himself cannot be identified, as he is an uncommon multiple. Different from one volume to another, he is an avant-garde writer, a ruthless and uncensored author of the 80s (as no one could in the 80s) and something new as well.”
