Canting Arms

Meer over het boek

Canting Arms (the heraldic term refers to coats of arms that are visual puns) is the fitting title for Galaicu-Păun's selected poems. His style is rich with references at once both playful and thematically serious, ironic, at times comic, and always bristling with verbal energy and unexpected turns in strong, limber lines.. This collection spans his earlier poems with scriptural and erotic references to later, more complex political, historical, psychologically astute works, sardonic, visionary, as well as surprising.
