volume of poetry written by the Romanian poetess Passionaria Stoicescu and translated into English by Muguraș Maria Petrescu and David Paul Vnuck. Passionaria Stoicescu chooses to wrap herself în a diaphanous and hazy somewhat ironic mystery, that makes one think of an exclusive universe, which belongs only to herself, being palpable în itself but not distant or lost în a dim light. Her game of come and go, of to be or not to be, controls her poetry. And from here

a noble Madam Bonsai, the real Madam Bonsai în flesh and blood makes her appearance în front of our eyes. She sees herself projected and reprojected în her poems.

a nacreous shadow? Shadows start to lengthen... Singing, the unseen angel of the house holds în his hand the fledgeling swallows în the nest under the roof till their mother comes. From the tooth of his chisel and the end of penknife old Joseph carved from wood a lamb and a donkey. And, after looking at Him with love he comes back to his working bench and rough-planing. After a while, the Child, full of sawdust and shavings, with His big

Remarcam că tonul general al poeziei lui nu este unul de tristețe, de abandon, ci unul de bucurie, concretizat într-o libertate a gestului („equal to the hurting and tickling pleasure of biting” sau „without touching of the fingers on the neck/ there is an awkardness în the riddle solved through kisses” - Her Teeth and Dreams).
