Romanian Poetry In English – Episode 13 – Nicolae Labiș
"So what’s a heart? I’m hungry! I want to live, desire… Oh, do forgive me maiden, my dearest in the fire! I doze. How tall the fire! The forest, how replete! I weep. What’s father thinking? I eat and weep. I eat!" These verses, written some 65 years ago by a 20-year-old, have long entered […]

In this 12th episode of our journey through Romanian Poetry in English, I will present to you a poet with who’s verse I resonate the most. The rebel and antagonist in me (and there is a LOT of that…) – latches onto his poetry… …initially pigeonholed as a neo-symbolist (by critics like George Călinescu, mainly […]
As a young man, and with many other students and young intellectuals attracted to the nationalistic fervor of the times, he became Member of the Iron Guard and the Legion of St.Michael the Archangel (a right wing, fascist movement which wrought terror and held government for a few months at the end of 1940 and […]
…what do I think of Adrian Paunescu? Let me say just this (and get into huge trouble…). If indeed someone, some excellent anthologist, who understands and loves poetry, AND has utmost artistic integrity – would be allowed to trawl through the thousands of poems of Adrian Paunescu, get rid of all the dross, she or […]

Born Samuel Rosenstock (16 April 1896 in Romania – 25 December 1963 in Paris) – Tzara is arguably the initiator, or at least a most important catalyst, leader, and practitioner of the anarchist anti-establishment […]
In this session I present the profile and some representative poems of „the most attractive ugly woman who achieved greateness in Romanian Poetry” (Alex Stefanescu). Nina Cassian is certainly in the top 10 Romanian poets for me. She has done it all, and done it exceptionally well, from aburdist-surreal, to socialist-realism, to romantic, to post-modern, […]
