Mircea Ivănescu

Mircea Ivănescu (March 26, 1931 - July 21, 2011) was a Romanian poet, writer and translator, forerunner of Romanian postmodernism and of the '80s generation . His translations from universal literature into Romanian include James Joyce, Franz Kafka, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Prolific poet, debuting with Versuri (Lines) in 1968, Ivănescu has published almost every two years a new volume during four decades. His lyrics, often depicting a day-to-day I disguised as "mopete" (an anagram of "poet" and "poem" it was thought, but the poet himself denied it recently in an interview), has rehabilitated narativity in Romanian poetry in the seventies, echoing American post-war major poets. He won the Mihai Eminescu Poetry Prize (1998) and was proposed by Romanian Professional Writers Association for Nobel Prize in 1999.
