Translated from the Anglo-Saxon of the Exeter Book.

Pe strunele Limbii de foc ne topim ca 0 ghitara. Sonore litere-n ceasloave infloresc, ~i alunecam de vii printre inalte pagini ... Himerele ne vin, o~tire, ca 0 domestica rana in fluidul suflet. Somnul se sfarma in tandari dulci de vise, cum lemnele pe jar. In simboluri dilatam poema (~i 0 stringem), iar metafora deschide 0 fereastra navalind de soare. Slova-~i culca viata pe hirtie: idei care 0 sug ea pe 0 muma, imagini verticale -la capat aprinse ca firmele electrice, versuri albastre ca ora ~i moi ca timiditatea, de lini~te atacate ~i de strigat biruite, eu murmuri albe de izvoare sau funingine de noapte....

A new translation of his tale of thwarted love set in Moorish Granada.

It took me ten years to collect all these texts dealing with the paradoxism, since I came to America, reading more than one thousand envelopes stuffed with manuscripts. They followed me at my address, often changed upon my job, in Phoenix and Tucson (Arizona) or in Gallup (New Mexico). I tried to answer each letter sending information on the paradoxism and also paradoxist diplomas where it was the case. Now I congratulate all these 100 writers who contributed to this anthology with poems, prose, dramas, essays, letters. This is an international fan on the dimensions of the paradoxism, twenty years after its setting up....

Volumul de faţă adună poeme scrise în perioada 2012-2014, stihuri care au fost risipite în varii publicaţii, precum şi în mediul online. De regulă, versurile respectă prozodia clasică, deşi nu acest lucru l-am avut prioritar în vedere. Preocuparea mea majoră a fost aceea de a transmite nedistorsionat mesajul de fond, căutând să aduc în faţa ochilor cititorului imagini poetice izvorâte din abisul unei realităţi interioare mult mai sensibile, mai nobile şi mai demne decât realitatea cotidiană atât de prozaică şi coruptă....
