Professor Ovidiu Moceanu observed the benefit of those who write poetry, through their ability to publish retrospective selections, and then he analyzed the evolving work of Cristian Muntean: his first volume of poems has proved a touchstone, the second volume outlined already a poetic mythology, while with the volume Citadel of my soul, the author has achieved a high sophistication and complexity of poetic reasons. Cristian Muntean`s Nostalgias are actually states of poetic consciousness directed towards the primary meanings. Simplicity is only apparent and hides special inflections, a liturgical structure that celebrates the joy of existence. The descent of Cristian Muntean`s creations, according to Ovidiu Moceanu, is to be found in Blaga and Sorescu.
