Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Continuumis a sweeping collection from a "miraculous" (Dana Gioia) poet. Spanning nearly sixty years, these poems--both new English translations of her work in Romanian--blend her gallows humor and an engagement with the human experience, from memories of a childhood at play to the contemplation of a gradual mortality.

Synopsis:

"The poems in this work show Cassian to be . . . a poet who can work miracles with language."—Library Journal
