Description: "Spanning nearly sixty years, Nina Cassian's poems - both new English compositions and translations from Romanian - blend her gallows humor and an engagement with the human experience. Her poems explore everything from the absurdities of modern life to our discomfort with death and loss - and in so doing, they vividly portray complex emotion. Here is an elegy on Bach and a brief meditation on Beckett, on loneliness, on the concurrent tenderness and severity of seasons, and on the intensity of feeling a lover's back."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Collection spanning nearly sixty years including both new English compositions and translations by the author of her work in Romanian.
