22th Sep 2011Contemporary Romanian Poets: Miruna Vlada
The fourth event in an exciting series of six poetry events held in collaboration with the Romanian Cultural Institute exploring contemporary Romanian culture through the eyes of its most accomplished poets, taking place in London between April and November 2011. -
Miruna Vlada, born in Bucharest in 1986, is a young and provocative Romanian poet. Publishing her first anthology, Ectopic Poems (2004) at just 18, Miruna famously provoked a public debate about ‘feminine’ writing. Her most recent collection, Break Between Veins, was published in 2007. She has been included in anthologies of the most important young Romanian poets and her poetic work has been widely translated across Central and Eastern Europe.
This event will be hosted by Amanda Hopkinson, Reader at the School of Literature at the University of East Anglia, who will provide an English introduction and will place the poets in context for the English-speaking members of the audience. Poetry in Romanian will also be read and performed in English translation.
All events in the series will start promptly at 7.00pm.
This event is free but booking is essential!
