Poetry. DVD Included. Andrei Cordrescu has noted: "In Ieronim's poetry her person and the world share the same heart-beat, a loud, sensuous, life-affirming beat that goes out to fellow creatures with bits of wisdom and experience. Her poetry is both insistently present and unfolding itself in another, mythical existence. Her sound in English is unique, and her story-telling is as urgent as the morning's news." This book, by one of the most interesting voices in Romanian literature today, is primarily a traveler's collection of poems. Most of the lyrics in LIFE LINE AS A SKYSCRAPER were written in English, in the U.S., England, Ireland or Israel. Places and people, local and global references, tradition and high-tech, even "the no-man's-land of flight" share their space in the poet's effort to attune the contrasts and challenges of the socio-political moment. Ieronim was the Romanian cultural attache in Washington 1992-6. This edition inlcudes a DVD of her video-poem: "The Lens of a Dewdrop."
