A nation with a forceful and antagonistic poetic tradition, Romania has
produced an admirable cohort of young poets to greet the first decade of
the century. At their forefront stands Elena Vladareanu,
heralded as one of the most gifted and iconoclastic poets of her
generation. Personal, confrontational and fierce, Vladareanu’s verse is
as bound to the experience of contemporary Romanian city life as it is
to her status as a woman in an often fiercely misogynist society.
Greeted with great respect by her peers and scorn by traditional voices
in Romanian poetry, she has released four collections, the last of which
(privat space - 2009) was launched at the Bucharest bookfair a
few months ago. For 3:AM, she speaks to SJ Fowler.
