An Anthology of Romanian Women Poets
Author: Kurt W Treptow
Publisher: Histria Books
ISBN: 1592112366
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
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.

The Triumph of the Water Witch
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Romanian poet Ioana Ieronim grew up in the Transylvanian Saxon part of Rasnov, a small town in the Carpathians. The Triumph of the Water Witch is her lament for the loss of that once thriving community which had survived for eight centuries before being destroyed in four decades through the imposition of Soviet-style communism. Written against the background of the bleak, restrictive climate of Romania under Ceausescu, these are poems which Ioana Ieronim never expected to see published. She felt compelled to write the book out of a deep, inward moral need not just to dissent from the politics, the corruption and the brutality of Romania's totalitarian régime, but also - with an even greater sense of horror - to bear witness to the degradation of human individuality and integrity in her terrified, disintegrating country. The poems trace a personal narrative thrown into sharp relief by this national tragedy. As the glowing miracle of childhood pales into memory with initiation into grown-up consciousness and knowledge, the girl's rite of passage becomes at the same time a descent into some of this century's most malign history.
