Father Dirt
Author: Mihaela Moscaliuc
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781882295784
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
"With exquisite lyricism Mihaela Moscaliuc recreates her childhood in Ceausescu's Romania. The narrative of hardship and loss is arresting and poignant but it's the flavors and smells, the rich evocation of folk medicines, the vivid descriptions of potions, ghosts, and ways to ward off demons that raise this first book to impressive heights."—Maxine Kumin MihaelaMoscaliuc's lyric debut unveils Communist and post-Communist Romanian life, recounting experiences and landscapes like a true wanderer. Romantic and spellbinding, her quest to understand language, origin, and country unites celebration with mourning, the sacred with the profane, apathy with compassion. From "Cold War Redux": I don't understand why history twists her own arm but I saw her do it: eyes squinted, lips thinned, she clipped our vocal chords, blew echoes into our gas stoves. We grew delirious with want behind the screeching Wall, dreamt stocks and bonds while dining on smoked plums. I don't understand why history scars her own body, but I know this: it could have been my own, gone insane, riding the skies, scything towers, and your own now on my land, pulverizing my parents' bodies. Born and raised in Romania, Mihaela Moscaliuc came to the United States in 1996 to complete graduate work in American literature. Her poems, reviews, translations, and articles have appeared in The Georgia Review, Prairie Schooner, TriQuarterly, New Letters, Poetry International, Arts & Letters, Pleiades, and Soundings. She teaches at Monmouth University and lives in Ocean, New Jersey. This courageous autobiographical collection disarms us, exposing cultural oppression and igniting compassion with honest, enchanting language.

Selected Poems of Tudor Arghezi
Author: Tudor Arghezi
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Born in Bucharest of peasant stock, Tudor Arghezi (1880-1967) was awarded Romania's National Poetry Prize in 1946 and the State Prize for Poetry in 1956. The translators of this volume have endeavored not only to convey the spirit of the original Romanian, but to find an English equivalent for its sound. The English verse, printed facing the Romanian, conveys the distilled, metaphorical nature of a poetry that expresses a strong sense of ancestral continuity and apocalyptic visions of the world. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
