Reads Like a Novel, August 6, 2010
This review is from: Father Dirt (Paperback)
Mihaela Moscaliuc's "Father Dirt" reads like a novel that you won't be able to put down. If you liked the movie "Four Months, Three Weeks, and Two Days," you will enjoy her poetry and its at times raw, direct tone, with scenes that could offer the basis for a screenplay about Romania before 1989. Her poems portray the hardships of homeless Roma children living around the railway stations and the graphic, cruel consequences of the communist policy of illegal abortion. At the same time, her metaphor and irony celebrate the subtle ambiguities of a bilingual poet. Her book would make a perfect gift for your friends who travel to Romania or are interested in poets of Eastern-European descent.
