Presented here in English translation from the original Romanian by Veronica Lungu is the fourth book subtitled MENTAL LANDSCAPES. Like T. S. Eliot's \u003cem\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/em\u003e, the tone of the poem is a little intimidating in that it focuses so relentlessly on the void. Thus, the poem represents a postmodern exploration of inner existential foreboding and distress.--Bill Wolak \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoetry.
