The Hour of Sand: Selected Poems 1969-1989 - Softcover
Ana Blandiana is one of Romania's most admired and popular poets. Her delicate, subtle and pointed poetry has gained her a large readership at home, where she has received the highest literary awards. Her poetry is direct, personal and uncompromising in its vision; it has strong traditional roots, both literary and spiritual, yet is acutely responsive to present-day concerns.
Ana Blandiana's poetry and prose have been widely translated in Europe, but `The Hour of Sand' is the first selection of her poems to appear in English. It introduces a fresh and distinctive voice in Eastern European poetry.
