Sorescu's Choice
Romania's comic genius Marin Sorescu had a great fondness for Ireland. He managed to visit friends there in his occasional visits abroad during the Ceausescu years, and the Irish poets made many translations of his work. In the recent Bloodaxe anthology of contemporary Romanian poetry, When the Tunnels Meet, the versions are by Paul Muldoon. Sorescu was generous in his encouragement of young writers, promoting their work in the journals he edited and in his publishing ventures. While in Belfast in 1991 for the opening of an exhibition of his paintings (he had started painting while under house arrest during the 1980s), a group of young Irish poets honoured him by reading their personal choic...
An Anthology of Romanian Women Poets
Poetry has always been an essential aspect of cultural expression in Romania. One will find few countries where poetry has been such a force both culturally and politically. This volume fills an important gap as it is the first to attempt to present systematically some of the most important Romanian women poets of the past two centuries. For too long their contribution has been under-appreciated. This anthology is an effort to correct this oversight and to make their work known to an international audience. The selections in this volume represent several generations of poets, from Veronica Micle and Matilda Cugler-Poni in the nineteenth century, to Magda Isanos in the inter-war period, to such important contemporary poets as Ana Blandiana and Daniela Crasnaru, and younger poets such as Mariana Marin and Carmen Veronica Steiciuc.

His startling images stretch the boundaries of thought. His poems, at once surreal and corporeal, lead us into new metaphysical and linguistic terrain.
