Angel Riding a Beast

Meer over het boek

The collection features erotic and meditative poems by Ursu, reflecting her experiences as a Fulbright Fellow in the US while capturing the "sad aura" of Eastern Europe. Through her work, she critiques American consumerism and naivete, all while paying homage to literary figures like Ovid and Ezra Pound. The translation, assisted by poet Weigl, showcases her unique voice and the cultural contrasts she navigates, hinting at the development of her reputation rooted in her native land.
