A long-awaited collection―her first written in English―by Romania's leading literary figure for over fifty years, and one of the world's most important voices. Ars Poetica: a Polemic I am I. I am personal. I am subjective, intimate, private, particular, confessional. All that happens, happens to me. The landscape I describe is myself... If you're interested in birds, trees, rivers, try reference books. Don't read my poems. I'm no indexed bird, tree or river, just a registered Self.

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.
