description: A dual-text Romanian/English edition. ""Banus, the grande dame of Romanian poetry, was active in anti-fascist movements throughout the `30s, and during the war she worked for the Resistance in Romania. This selection, chosen by Banus herself, captures the variety of her writing from the impetuous and spontaneous to poems of great precision and tenderness. It has been called a lyrical diary of her long life, beginning when she was 20"" - Translation Review. Banus was born in 1914 and had her first work published when she was 14. ""[a] significant Romanian contemporary poet. The translations...are sensitive and attentive to the original. The Romanian parallel text pays the respect due to a poet in translation and brings a cultivated touch to the volume"" - World Literature Today.
