description: “The selected poems of Nina Cassian represent an exciting collaboration of poet-translators and the poet herself. Comedy and despair come together in this lyrical text; the whole is enhanced by William Jay Smith’s useful and insightful introduction.” ―Maxine Kumin Poems deal with childhood, color, censorship, freedom, greed, loneliness, love, pain, and mortality.
