Monuments to a Stolen Revolution and Other Poems from Bucharest

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring life in Bucharest and Sofia from 2002 to 2005, the poems offer vivid 'verbal snapshots' of a rapidly changing Romania post-Communism. The author captures the contrasts of daily life, from street vendors to the impact of capitalist development on the city's landscape. With a blend of humor and keen observation, he reflects on the resilience of the people amid political transformation. Accompanied by imaginative illustrations from his wife, Celia Ward, the collection highlights the rich cultural tapestry of Eastern Europe during a pivotal time.
