ON ZENO’S FOOTSTEPS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Translation by George ANCA<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Any book presented to one by its author implies a special communication. One is supposed to be worth of sharing those written, to collaborate with his\/her moods during reading. It is like an invitation to a secret colloquium. With each reader, the colloquial gesture enlarges and the world seems easier decipherable, one can find unexpected meanings and, why not, sometimes, it seems easier to be supported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I am thus in possession of presented book. Poetess Mariana Gurza writes to me on first page, \u201cwith love and appreciation\u201d. Appreciating with love, that is not from distance. One can thus pick up an elective affinity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The book is an anthology, remarkably entitled \u201cPe urmele lui Zenon\u201d\/\u201cOn Zenon’s footsteps\u201d, Timpolis publishing house, 2012, translation by Dr. George Anca. As writer Ben Todica suggests in preface:\u201dMariana Gurza invites us to a journey in which she recreates intensively the depths and heights of human experience and makes us see how extraordinary our daily life is. The title of anthology suggests that it is question of recreation of an ancient unconventional Greek style which encapsulates us into the myth of Zeno from Eleea (490 \u2013 430 BC) and in original, subtle, profound and old fashioned manner, the author proposes to our delight a collection of lyrical feelings and transmutations. This collection has thirty five chosen poems. Brilliantly crafted, poems of Mariana Gurza are perceptive to natural landscape and fundamental questions of life and death. This volume offers Romanian original text and its homologue in English on opposite pages. Translation of George Anca surprises with hawk eye the splendor of original, transmits with mastery poetical beauty and used rhythm, as well as complexity of language depth of author Mariana Gurza. A profound love poetry… sensual, musical and delicate.\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Selection is descendant, from philosophical tone over human existence and condition, over relation with eternity and divinity, toward a touch of reality (see the poem on the unemployed). The note of translator includes references: Mariana Gurza \u201ewants to detonate the selfishness around\u201d (Adrian Dinu Rachieru), \u201esilence will not restrain her soul\u201d (Eleonora Schipor), \u201elyrics become her universe and salvation\u201d (Nina Ceranu). Not excepting romantic erotic statements, the poems of Marianei Gurza (with roots in Bucovina, born in Banat, mother of children), have almost always lengyh of Lord’s Prayer. Translator listened, concomitantly, also songs by Frank Sinatra, choosing only few quasi-mystical recalls written over the years and published in volumes: Paradox sentimental \/ Sentimental Paradox<\/em>, Ed. Augusta, 1998; G\u00e2nduri nocturne \/ Night thoughts<\/em>, Ed. Augusta, 1999; Nevoia de a sfida tacerea \/ Need to defy silence<\/em>, Ed. Augusta, 2000, Lumini \u015fi umbre \/ Lights and shadows<\/em>, Ed.Augusta, 2001; Lacrima iubirii<\/em> \/ Tears of love<\/em>, Ed. Artpress, 2003, Ultimul strig\u0103t \/<\/em> Last cry<\/em>, <\/em>Eubeea, 2006.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Any poem is round, clear in images, denoting both knowledge of word value but also exercise of literary writing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The image of heaven, hell, of times, of sorrowful impact with undesired events, dedications full of affective fears, even the words \u201csit strangely \/ between life and another universe<\/em>\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The verse can be in case of this volume way of healing and hope, can be judge for soul, can be exemplary and humble seal if we refer to God.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Penetrating images are following us even after reading, \u201cthe clay handful \/ in palm of God<\/em>\u201d, the return always toward self, with discretion, in search of some secret meanings, propose to one to become \u201cthe grain sand \/ remained on time’s sole \/ you will know \/ from that angle \/ what means the burden \/ I carry myself \/ everyday \/ every season<\/em>\u201d, p. 34.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A charming poem is dedicated to grandfather, disguised in an unreal, wonder space, having eternity face\/back. Next to it is \u201cGreen times<\/em>\u201d, one of most beautiful poems: \u201cone evening \/ mother forgotten \/ outside the sack with salt \/ the morning was a salty sea \/ Father left his scythe \/ on edge of this sea \/ and it got rusted… First child born that evening \/ had his skin tanned…<\/em>\u201d Further on there are living, feelings, self-denial, what is characterizing the author herself.<\/strong><\/p>\n
