Poet, writer and playwright Aureliu Busuioc died last night, two weeks before his 84 birthday. “This is a great, incommensurable loss that leaves an emptiness which no one will ever be able to fill”, Arcadie Suceveanu, the president of the Moldovan Writers Union, told Info-Prim Neo. “Aureliu Busuioc has in our literature the image of an intellectual author, with his elevated choice of words and profound Romanian. He was the author that has introduced the urban world in our prose”. Friends and fans are invited to bid farewell to Aureliu Busuioc on Wednesday at the Writers Union, where from his body will be taken to the Central Cemetery on Armeneasca St. Aureliu Busuioc debuted with the children's poetry volume “La padure” in 1955, followed by a collection of satiric poetry “Prafuri amare” the same year.
