In March 1912 Voiculescu made his debut with a poem in the Romanian literary magazine Convorbiri Literare . A collection of poems was supposed to be published in 1916, but they were destroyed during the First World War during the German attack on Bucharest. In 1918 he published Din ţara zimbrului . Between the world wars he lived and acted in Bucharest, held various conferences as a scientist, and published religious literature. His literary style became increasingly expressionistic. He published various short stories. After the Second World War he was suppressed by the Stalinist regime because of his religious and democratic ideals, and imprisoned in 1958. During his prison time he developed cancer and died in 1963.
