I didn't really like this book but I think it's because I didn't grow up in Romania

Poetry in translation is always difficult. I'm trying to think of the most successful poets in translation—Neruda? Rilke?—and there aren't many. Marin should be one of them, though:
If I bind one word to another
I endure death
from a scratchy, indistinct sound
that sets my hand on fire.
(from "Elegy VI")
