Over the Lifeline by Adrian Sangeorzan

I think of these poems as astonished watchers of the extraordinary
gymnastics of a river that is nothing less than our time. They watch,
they tell themselves the stories of what they see now and stay ironically
and hopefully at their posts as true poems always have. The river goes
on, the poet shakes his head, now there is an epiphanic epitaph.    
Andrei Codrescu

Adrian Sangeorzan’s poems, in all their associative verve—somehow in
the orbit of surrealism, combined with an acute sense of the concrete—
address the reader with strong attitudes and moral principles. The title of
his first Romanian book, PE VIU—which means, approximately “Without
Anaesthesia” —is a perfect metaphor for his thirst for the real world, even
if it hurts.
