Donar Munteanu (born Dimitrie Munteanu;〔Aurel Sasu (ed.), ''Dicționarul biografic al literaturii române'', vol. II, p. 155. Pitești: Editura Paralela 45, 2004. ISBN 973-697-758-7〕〔Mihail Straje, ''Dicționar de pseudonime, anonime, anagrame, astronime, criptonime ale scriitorilor și publiciștilor români'', p. 464. Bucharest: Editura Minerva, 1973. 〕 June 26, 1886 – ?) was a Romanian poet, representing the provincial wing of Romanian Symbolism. Professionally, he was active as a magistrate and prison inspector. Born in Răcari, Dâmbovița County, Munteanu was of Transylvanian roots: his father, a schoolteacher,〔 was a first-generation immigrant to the Kingdom of Romania.〔Călinescu, p. 1023〕 Making his publishing debut in Alexandru Macedonski's ''Forța Morală'' in 1901,〔 and subsequently joining the Symbolist writing club at ''Literatorul'', he enlisted at the University of Bucharest. He was a member of the ''Pahuci'' student fraternity, inviting Macedonski to its sessions,〔Nicolae Baboeanu, ''Dedesubturi...'', pp. 29–31. Bucharest: Poporul, 1910〕 before graduating with a degree in law.〔 Additionally, his work was hosted in Caion's ''Românul Literar''.〔 Macedonski held him in high esteem as "the incomparable maestro", but, according to literary historian George Călinescu, this should not dissuade from the fact that Munteanu was "minuscule" as a poet.〔Călinescu, p. 523〕 In 1904, he published the Symbolist magazine ''Pleiada'', which ran for two editions,〔 usually signing his pieces there as ''Donar''.〔 In 1908, Munteanu was also co-opted by Ion Minulescu at the radical Symbolist review, ''Revista Celor L'alți''. His contribution there was noted by the anti-Symbolist traditionalist Nicolae Iorga, who believed Munteanu to be "a good versifier".〔Nicolae Iorga, ''Istoria literaturii românești contemporane. II: În căutarea fondului (1890-1934)'', pp. 148–149. Bucharest: Editura Adevĕrul, 1934〕 A regular at Mihail Dragomirescu's ''Convorbiri Critice'' magazine (from 1907), Munteanu's first book was the 1909 ''Aripi negre'' ("Black Wings").〔 Dragomirescu, introducing him as an "idyllic poet from the Macedonski school", proposed that his piece ''Țiganii'' ("The Gipsies") should be considered "a descriptive, colorful, masterpiece".〔Mihail Dragomirescu, ''Semănătorism, poporanism, criticism'', p. 150. Bucharest: Editura Noului Institut de Literatură, 1934〕 From 1911 to 1916, Munteanu was a contributor to ''Flacăra''.〔 He served as a magistrate at Piatra Neamț, Iași, Bazargic, Câmpulung, Brăila, Sibiu, Odorhei, Deva and ultimately Chișinău.〔 During his stay in Bessarabia, he began contributing to the literary review ''Teatrul'', put out by Cincinat Pavelescu,〔G. Bezviconi, ''Profiluri de ieri și de azi. Articole'', p. 297. Bucharest: Editura Librăriei Universitare I. Cărăbaș〕 and also had samples of his work featured in Transylvania's ''Gândirea'' (from 1930).〔 In 1931, he married the Bessarabian Maria Niță, a teacher of Russian.〔 In the few books that he published at significant intervals (''Aripi fantastice'', 1925; ''Simfonia vieții'', 1943; ''Bisericuța neamului'', 1943), Romantic echoes are found alongside Symbolist motifs, while well-drawn images are eclipsed by an ample tendency toward grandiloquence.〔 His sonnets, reviewer Ion Șiugariu notes, were conventional and prosaic, echoing both ''Sămănătorul'' and Parnassianism; although not "a great poet", Munteanu was "earnest", without the "obscurities" of modernist literature.〔Ion Șiugariu, "Viața poeziei", ''Revista Fundațiilor Regale'', Nr. 11/1943, pp. 445–447〕 From 1937 to 1938,〔 answering to Justice Minister Vasile P. Sassu, Munteanu worked as general director of penitentiaries. He was on hand to investigate the July 1937 prison riots at Târgu Ocna.〔"Anchetă în legătură cu revolta deținuților de la Tg.-Ocna", ''Adevărul'', July 29, 1937, p. 7〕 Subsequently, he was a Permanent Councilor to the Legislative Council until June 1945, when he was ordered to retire.〔 Munteanu survived the establishment of a Romanian communist regime, and, in 1956, was visiting fellow poet Dumitru Iov at his home in Bucharest.〔 Eugen Dimitriu, ("Dimitrie Iov către Leca Morariu.
