Based on a rich factual material and provable arguments the present study ardently polemizes with old and new denigrators of Liviu Damian’s creation. He is a poet of great talent who dared to „break” the patterns of traditionalism and to propose a new type of lyrical, modern and in many ways subversive. It seeks to combine „reportage with a myth”. The polemicist declaims the preconceived and crooked opinions of those authors (either they are literary critics and historians or colleagues, or party workers) who, without understanding his poetics, designed a deformed, unfavourable picture. At the same time, they highlighted the true defenders and supporters of the poet through critical words. L. Damian had a traumatized poetic destiny, his father was deported to Siberia, being accused of „anti-Sovietism”, a plenary Party Committee in the town that failed around his volume of poems „De-a baba iarba” (1972). This volume was accused of „anti-Sovietism in Soviet Moldavian literature”. With some demolishing reviews on his own books. L. Damian was and continues to be interpreted arbitrarily and improperly. He knew the real state of things inside, as a direct participant in the literary events of the period – with critical attitudes and writing. He brings into discussion favourable considerations of other specialists in the field, removes the unfair accusations for an important scientific and academic institution and its director, he disagrees with the category of „non-specialists”.
