Short description

At times bucolic, and pious, Nicolae Dabija writes in formal meter, with rhyme, and often employs biblical, as well as natural imagery, such as the rose. He employs surrealism as part of a tradition in modern Romanian literature known best, I suppose, by western readers in the plays of Ionesco. John Michael Flynn, translator
