A new collection of work from "a world-class, high-spirited, fierce, intelligent, uncompromising, and wonderfully nervy poet" (Stanley Kunitz). Continuum is a sweeping collection from a "miraculous" (Dana Gioia) poet. Spanning nearly sixty years, these poems—both new English translations of her work in Romanian—blend her gallows humor and an engagement with the human experience, from memories of a childhood at play to the contemplation of a gradual mortality.

Author · 7 books
Nina Cassian (pen name of Renée Annie Cassian-Mătăsaru) was a Romanian poet, children's book writer, translator, journalist, accomplished pianist and composer, and film critic. She spent the first sixty years of her life in Romania until she moved to the United States in 1985 for a teaching job. A few years later Cassian was granted permanent asylum and New York City became her home for the rest of her life. Much of her work was published both in Romanian and in English.
