Romanian Poetry
no longer literature. the generation of 2000Romanian Poetry on Screens
As a part of 100 thousand poets for change, 2011 poetry was put on screen in the middle of Bucharest on 24th of September.
This is a first video (not the official one yet) fot the event we had in Bucharest with poetry on the biggest media facade in Continental Europe (560 square meters/6,205 sq. ft.). It was the first time ever, when Romanian poetry was presented on this surface.
It included poetry by classical, modern, and contemporary Romanian poets selected to illustrate the idea of change.

The Romanian Poetry. the best history
As I prepare a presentation on Romanian Poetry for Poznan in Poland, I can say that the best introduction is the article from The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics. The author is Virgil Nemoianu and someone had put it in a video:
The co-editors of the book were Alex Preminger and T.V.F. Brogan. The associate editors were Frank J. Wernke, O.B. Hardison and Earl Miner. At least until the end of XX-th century it offers a good start for study.
Poetics of the Quotidian turns atelierelational
The event of live literature, Poetics of the Quotidian has been held weekly in Bucharest for the last five years. It was closed in June and became Atelierelational since September.
According to Razvan Tupa, the host of the event “Atelierelational is a new series of events that will involve more the participants from the audience. Poetics of the quotidian did it’s job. It launched a platform of regullar meetings between writers and audience. Now it’s time to hear the audience and to prepare the stage for the very young authors that are to publish their first books.”
The new format of the meetings includes video samples with international poetry and offers to the participants the notebooks of poetry, a thin notebook intended to support the writing of each participant.
Atelierelational is every Saturday at 17.00 in Cafe Dalles (18th Nicolae Balcescu Bd) in Bucharest.
“poetry. the power”, you can watch for free online the movie with 24 young poets from Romania
Now you can watch the full lengh interviews I’ve made with young Romanian poets regarding the pouwer of poetry today with subtitles in English here http://fdl.ro/poezie-puterea/ 24 young writers explain literature where it comes from and where it goes.
Some may swear that prose is poetry’s mother, others think it is a pyramid, a form of communication, or rage, a beeline for rock celebrity. “poetry. the power” is a documentary that takes the pulse of Romanian contemporary poetry, of its public an its indecency: an hour with new poets and their special powers. http://romanianbodies.blogspot.com/2009/08/poetry-power-in-prague-and-berlin.html see you
