Romania’s Floarea Ţuţuianu is a fiercely sensual poet and visual artist, known for her provocative playfulness with words and images.

The 2007 recipient of the Lucian Blaga International Poetry Festival Prize, she is the only woman to be included in Bucharest’s definitive anthology of contemporary poets, Manualul de literature. In Romania, she has published six books of poetry, and her words and images have traveled the world. Now, for the first time in the United States, her poems—masterfully translated by Adam L. Sorkin and Irma Giannetti—are gathered in this book, some with their original counterparts, paired with arresting photo plates wrought by the artist herself. Strange, ferocious, and lovely, her images and words leave a lingering echo.

Industry Reviews

Floarea Tutuianu presents us with erotic poetry of a singular kind, full of magic and the divine: graceful and feline, original, seductive...

--Norman Manea, Author of The Hooligan's Return

Floarea Tutuianu is a sexy poet who loves language play, and her freighted words load her poetry with desire. Basic to her poetry is a playful narcissistic persona...her provocative femininity grants her the role of a postmodern succubus. Tutuianu really means it when she writes, "I want to be Leda, the swan between my legs"! She is courageous in her erotic language.

--Ruxandra Cesereanu Author of Crusader Woman

The poetry of Floarea Tutuianu is not a poetry of the senses, of the joy of physical contact... Preoccupations of a very different order gnaw at the foundation of this poetry: in her embrace, the author has as her partner not the body, but the word.

--Eugen Negrici, Romanian critic and literary historian
