The God's Orbit
In this, her most successful collection of poetry, Christi strikes the reader by her seraphic serenity, inspired, as she confesses, by Fra Angelico's mural paintings. In naturally flowing lines, full of a sober inner musicality, that support a painful and clear vision of life, the often inimical gods slowly turn into God, the all-pacifying.

The March to the Stars
Poetry. Introduction by Adam J.Sorkin, who translated the collection with the author and several other Romanian translators. Mihai Ursachi (1941-2004) is one of Romania's most eminent and original writers, and was a nominee for a Nobel Prize for Literature in 2001. He defected to the U.S. in 1981, after years of imprisonment under a repressive regime. He returned to Romania after the 1989 revolution and assumed an active role. Donald Eulert remarks the poet's "thorough modern response both to his own tradition and to the human condition at large," while Sorkin points to this poet's variety of registers: "Ursachi's rich lyrical gift led to the creation of poetry of complex beauty designed to serve as the medium for truth." The present collection is the result of several years of selection and translation, concluded in 2004, and it comprises Ursachi's best poems.

The Poetry of Men's Lives
Alive with the wisdom, artistry, and emotion of more than 250 poets from nearly one hundred countries, this anthology celebrates the multifaceted experience of contemporary manhood. The lives into which these poems invite us reveal the influences of culture, heredity, personal experience, values, beliefs, wishes, desires, loves, and betrayals. Men are notoriously reluctant to open up and discuss these things; and yet when they do--as in these poems--they tell us about their families, lovers, relationships, political and religious beliefs, sexuality, and childhoods. There is much to learn here about who men are and how they see their worlds. Collects close to three hundred poems, in English o...

City of Dreams and Whispers
This anthology of contemporary poets of Iasi (and the adjoining region) presents English-speaking audiences with a generous sampling, in effective literary translation, of notable contemporary writers from this most important cultural and literary center of modern Romania. Contemporary writing in Iasi is both strong and varied, with not only such a world-class writer as Mihai Ursachi, but many other poets who deserve attention in an international context. The book includes twenty poets, with rougnly ten poems each, a structure similar to the Cluj poets book, Transylvanian Voices, published by the Center for Romanian Studies in 1997, after which it is modeled. The editor has worked with over twenty different collaborators. The book includes brief bio-bibliographical notes on all the writers, together with a general introduction for foreign readers. The following poets are included in the anthology (in alphabetical order): Radu Andriescu, Liviu Antonesei, Emil Brumaru, Cristina Cirstea, Marina Codrut, Nichita Danilov, Aurel Dumitrascu, Gellu Dorian, Dan Giosu, Carmeli Leonte.
