Today, we’re excited to share a selection of new translations of Romanian poetry: an excerpt from The God’s Orbit by Aura Christi translated by Adam J. Sorkin and Petru Iamandi, as well as several poems by Traian T. Coșovei translated by Adam J. Sorkin and Andreea Iulia Scridon. These poems have in common the searing language with which they confront either the divinity in the case of Christi’s poems, or the human existence in Coșovei’s unforgettable verse.
