Vă iubesc fără pauze

Love and proverbs shape the poems of Vasile Romanciuc. So does his dismay at what is unjust. His poems also face the world’s moral flaws. This book of lyric verse puts sense before show. He picks words with care and leaves some things unsaid.

Romanciuc is one of the Bessarabian poets who emerged in the 1970s. His first book was Genealogie. It was the third in Cartea Moldovenească’s Debut series. That series launched first books in 1974–1975. These poets used metaphor as a way to speak freely.

Critic Lucia Țurcanu views his work across fifty years. She notes his balance in both verse and civic views. She also traces a shift after the national revival of 1989–1991. He then returned to a more personal lyric voice. His images serve what the poems mean, not themselves. This book is part of the Cartier de colecție series.
