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.
