Sang Dencre

Birth and death share one tight bond in sanG d'encre. This book of poems is by Emilian Galaicu-Păun. Its strong words face death and fight its power. Al. Cistelecan chose the poems for this book. It forms part of the Cartier de colecție series.

The poems draw on a Romantic view and expressionist images. They link flashes of insight with shocks to the body. A sense of mystery joins these strands. Fear and deep feeling shape the words and their view of life. Scenes of daily life mix with harsh details and sarcasm. The poems do not just show the world as it is. They use imagination to change it. They give everyday things a sense of dread.
