As the opening motto recites: IN THIS WORLD, LOVE IS THE ONLY CURE FOR A SICKENED SOUL! Dan Duțescu immediately establishes the essential character of his poems: it is not society that consents to love, but the very planet, a sign the poet is certain that the values he believes in are shared by all his fellow beings.Poignant words that emerge from the depths of his essence, the author generously strips himself of any superfluous structure.Every word is pinned down with candour and strength, in an endless expanse that falls into the abyss, into the sea and then always rises up and rises again, because the strength of love is impregnable and eternal. Dan Duțescu - born in the town of Craiova, in the southern part of Romania, in a landscape of rare beauty with mountains on the horizon and rapid rivers crossing the forests near the mountain area. All this marked his childhood years. The greatest Romanian poet, namely Mihai Eminescu, repeatedly visited the grandparents’ house. His father fought in the Second World War, having the rank of lieutenant in the Romanian army, being wounded at Stalingrad and his mother was a graduate of the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest. A family of intellectuals, with a childhood marked by joys, but also by many shortcomings related to the lack of food, clothes suitable for different seasons and the persecution of the communist system against his father who throughout his life was followed and even investigated by the security organs of state of the dictatorship regime established by Nicolae Ceausescu.Dan graduated from both departments of the Faculty of Law in Bucharest, the first in 1985 and the second in 1992, and nowadays is still a lawyer in the Craiova Bar Association. Throughout this period and until now, he has been preoccupied with putting down on paper feelings of love towards people, nature, God, and things related to the small and big universe. He likes to paint, play the piano and, last but not least, play tennis.
