Second-Hand Souls - Softcover
Synopsis
Poetry. Translated from the Romanian by Sean Cotter. Nichita Danilov (b. 1952) places himself in the tradition of mystics such as Meister Eckhart, St, John of the Cross, and Pseudo-Dionysius. Combining the spiritual heritage of his native Romania with a surrealist poetics, his writing is playful, ironic, and language-centered, engaging in games of a metaphysical depth. In this selection of his poetry (presented bilingually) and prose, Danilov describes a world full of caprice in a voice coming from the darkness of a purgatory where the divine appears in bizarre images.

Review
A succint and valuable translation of a potentially important East European poet. -- The Absinthe Literary Review
The world for the mystically-minded Danilov is not a natural world, but it has its fascinations and intimations. -- Small Press Book Review
These skeptical poems evoke mysticism, surrealism and the metaphysical ... they say so much, so simply, so beautifully. -- NewPages.com
[S]tartling images that remind us of the best of the Imagist school. -- RALPH
