The Great Sand Glass / Marele Clepsidru
poems, bilingual (Engl.-Rom.) / poeme, bilingv (engl-rom)
Interart Foundation Timisoara, 2004
Editura Fundatia Interart Triade
"Paul Neagu's poetry anticipates - or more simply echoes - a string of themes brilliantly exposed in the speechless idiom of his sculpture."

"Poezia sculptorului Paul Neagu anticipeaza vizionar - cand nu reverbereaza viu, reiterandu-le -, temele unei meditatii sclipitor inscrise in limbajul fara cuvinte al creatiei sale artistice."

Nine Catalytic Stations /
Noua statiuni catalitice
Matei Stircea-Craciun a study in hylesic symbolism
Editura Anastasia Romania 2003
"This book by Matei Stircea-Craciun, Paul Neagu - Nine Catalitic Stations, dedicated to the achievements of Romania's foremoste contemporary sculptor, is the first comprehensive analysis of his work to be written and published in the country of his birth, employeing symbolic anthropology as an analytical instrument in the critical process." /
"Paul Neagu: Noua statiuni catalitice este prima monografie despre sculptorul Paul Neagu, probabil cel mai important sculptor in viata din siaspora romaneasca. Volumul se distinge din categoria ampla a studiilor despre arta contemporana prin recursul sistematic la tehnici de analiza proprii antropologiei simbolice."

Timisoara, Romania, 2003
"Cand se vorbeste despre Paul Neagu, este invocat aproape mecanic sculptorul. Dar in egala masura s-ar putea aminti pictorul, desenatorul, teoreticianul, profesorul, actantul in hapeninguri si in performance, poetul s.a.m.d. Personalitates lui si intregul profil cultural sint abuziv minimalizate, insa daca ne referim doar la una sau la alta dintre aceste activitati. Pentru ca Paul Neagu reprezinta acea categorie de artisti sau, mai curand, acel caz de artist, pentru care fragmentarea si ofensiva pe orizontala nu sint decat o materie prima, piese constitutive intr-un enorm proces de sintetizare."

A Derridean Tornado
Paul Neagu 1965 - 2000
"This publication intends to roughly illustrate Paul Neagu's intuitive visual research over 35 years. (...) The final ideomorphic impetus that allow us to suggest a resonant parallel between Neagu's generative, plastic, visual ideas and deconstruction were greatly jolted when reading Christina Howell's 'Derida - Deconstruction from Phenomenology to Ethics' and the enthusiastic John D.Caputo's 'The prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida' (of Villanova University,USA)"
