Author: Catalina Iliescu.
The Instituto Cultural Rumano recommends the book Shadows, Fires and Lofts / Seventeen Romanian Women Poets (1961-1980). The lyrical unity present in this anthology is striking despite the diversity of voices, styles and poetics brought together by the writer Catalina Iliescu. This unity comes from a certain leaden atmosphere, but one that is always full of discoveries. It can be said that it is a poetic expressionism, a journey that encompasses the different modes of knowledge of each of the voices collected here. A wound, or its determined healing, runs through an environment, at first more grey, and a nature, real and human, that becomes stronger and stronger, open, solid. The solidity comes from the waters that have irrigated this root: Ovid, Eminescu, Celan, Isanos… fuel that ignites and sets fire to these voices that converse with Frida Kahlo, Italo Calvino, shadows that accompany themselves in profound introspection on history and its possible future.
