DESCRIPTION

Poems by Daniela Crasnaru translated by Adam J. Sorkin with the poet. Daniela Crasnaru's writing delves beneath descriptive surface out of an impossible need to revivify the cold, experiential jewels encased in memory, to recreate something breathing and visceral. This process, in her hands, results in poems of rare brilliance and philosophical depth. Her translator, Adam Sorkin, similarly brings forth Arasnaru's rough music and precipitous beauty with the perfect pitch of a poet.
