A new poetry volume enriches the Romanian Poetry Around the World series, bringing to international readers the unmistakable voice of one of Romania's most important contemporary poets.
In My Dear Nobody, Passionaria Stoicescu explores love not as sentiment, but as existential force-at once luminous and painful, sustaining and destructive. These poems speak from a place of deep interiority, where desire, solitude, memory, and longing intersect with spiritual and moral questioning. Love here is never decorative; it is lived, tested, and transformed into clarity.
In My Dear Nobody, Passionaria Stoicescu explores love not as sentiment, but as existential force-at once luminous and painful, sustaining and destructive. These poems speak from a place of deep interiority, where desire, solitude, memory, and longing intersect with spiritual and moral questioning. Love here is never decorative; it is lived, tested, and transformed into clarity.
With a poetic career spanning more than five decades and over eighty published volumes, Passionaria Stoicescu occupies a singular position in Romanian literature. Her work is known for its emotional lucidity, restraint, and courage to confront vulnerability without rhetorical excess. Rooted in the Romanian lyrical tradition yet unmistakably personal, her poetry speaks with a voice that is at once intimate and universal.
In My Dear Nobody, the Nobody addressed throughout the book becomes a paradoxical presence-a silent interlocutor, a mirror, sometimes an absence that sharpens awareness. The poems move fluidly between confession and reflection, between the body and the soul, between earthly love and metaphysical unease. Stoicescu's language is stripped down, precise, and resonant, allowing silence to speak as powerfully as words.
Carefully translated from Romanian, this volume offers English-language readers access to a poetic sensibility shaped by a unique cultural and linguistic background, yet deeply relatable across borders. The translation preserves the intensity, clarity, and inner rhythm of the original poems, presenting them as living texts rather than literary artifacts.
My Dear Nobody is part of the Romanian Poetry Around the World series, a collection dedicated to bringing major Romanian poetic voices into dialogue with global readers. The series invites not only discovery, but encounter-offering poetry that subtly reshapes perception, deepens attention, and enriches one's own relationship with language.
This book will appeal to readers who value depth over spectacle, emotional honesty over ornament, and poetry that lingers long after the final page.
