Huge congrats to Tatiana Țîbuleac and Monica Cure. What a beautiful review.

"Like a literary origamist, the author intricately folds in plot details so that each new revelation forces you to reconsider the shape of the whole narrative." - Ben Libman for the New York Times

@TwoLinesPress @AdelaGreceanu @worldpoetrybook @Gulf_Coast And of course @DeepVellum was such a vibe! Wonderful to finally meet @exhaustdata and to get to know Nadine. My translation of The Summer My Mother Had Green Eyes by Tatiana Tibuleac comes in 2026.

[Monica Cure @MonicaCure]

My focus on my first day at AWP was the Book Fair. It was especially wonderful meeting some of the good people working at the presses and magazines with which I've published (or am about to) poetry and translations!

[Monica Cure @MonicaCure]

@TwoLinesPress @AdelaGreceanu @worldpoetrybook One of the poems from the book of poems by Dan Sociu that I'll be translating and publishing with them at the end of 2026 will be out soon @Gulf_Coast
