I was 13 when I first read this poem. Of course, it wasn’t the one I was supposed to read as homework. We were studying Eminescu’s poetry for some years, each year one or two poems, usually the ones that were either about nature or considered “patriotic” by the communist regime at that time. But
A poem from „Parentheses”, which is a work in progress, still. ;) Yet, I’ve included some of the English poems in „Memories” („amintiri”), my latest Romanian book that has been published in July. Illustrations and cover for Parentheses by Jade Ene.
