What if we stopped biting our nails
and spoke clearly the words that trouble us
would the horizon line
no longer be discontinuous?
would suffering move further north?

Simona Nicoleta Lazăr
Simona Nicoleta Lazăr is a Romanian poet, writer, journalist, food critic, gastronom, publisher and author of cookbooks. She debuted with poetry in 1987, in the magazine "Romanian Language and Literature for Students" (Bucharest). Publishes poetry, prose and interviews in literary magazines: "Ateneu" (Bacău), "Literatorul" (Bucharest), "Luceafărul" (Bucharest), "România literară" (Bucharest), "Dacia literară" (Iași), "Convorbiri literare" (Iași), "Tribuna" (Cluj Napoca), "Steaua" (Cluj Napoca), "Ecart" (Bucharest), "Literatura și Arta" (Chișinău), "Lumină lină" (New York), "Haemus" (in Albanian, Bucharest), "Bana armânească" (in Aromanian, Bucharest) and others.
Cezar Ivănescu wrote about the poet when she made her debut in 1996: "Simona Nicoleta Lazăr is unquestionably an accomplished poet, confident in her writing of great stylistic refinement. "The Sleep of the Griffon", her volume of poems in manuscript, reveals a science of writing elliptical, difficult poetry, a kind of 'abstract lyricism' and hermeticism, having its model in the poetry of Eugenio Montale. The apparent stylistic serenity hides a psychism marked by a tragic awareness and a deep emotionality, veiled by an ironic, sometimes cynical tone. Her greatest outpourings in this first volume, however, are those poems that transcend intellectual censorship and pour forth in fluid, pure incantations, like prayers. Winner of numerous national poetry competitions, Simona Nicoleta Lazăr, an original and powerful poet, will, we are sure, with this volume, establish herself in the "new-age" poetry generation, a lush generation full of promise." more…
