Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
`The work is fresh, daringly inventive and vividly graphic in its imagery. A real find.' Sheffield Telegraph
'This book is absurdly cheap considering the various pleasures it offers.' John Lucas, New Statesman
'As a general rule, it is the pared-down astringent poets like Brecht and Holub who translate best, but Fleur Adcock has somehow caught the Romanian butterfly, dissolved it alchemically, and reconstituted not a paper substitute but the real thing, to be released into English air. Let us hope that she will want to do it again.' Peter Forbes, Independent
