Dumitru Păcuraru (Romania)

DUMITRU PĂCURARU (born 1955, Satu Mare) is a poet and journalist. He made his debut with the volume Miere de viespi, in 1988. After 1989, he entered the newspaper business. He is the director of the daily newspaper Informația zilei and the ITV television station in Satu Mare. He writes a daily editorial. His only connections with literary life remain the magazines Poesis and Poesis international. His friends printed his book Spirit de haită (ed. Dacia, 2012), an unpublished book. He returned to the news in 2008 with the volume Salutator universal (ed. Limes, Cluj). In 2010, Poeme din altă carte was published by Brumar Publishing House, Timișoara, a volume unpublished due to an authorial whim: “I set my bar too high and, as I couldn’t jump over it, I refused to go under it.”

Fascinated by the painter’s personality, Aurel Popp wrote the monograph-album Aurel Popp, between two cultures, RAO, 2017. He also published Măcelăria și alte poeme, Ed. Tracus Arte, Bucharest, 2019.
