Night with a Pocketful of Stones

Night with a Pocketful of Stones is the Romanian poet Traian T. Cosovei's first book in English. Cosovei, who died in 2014, was a significant figure in contemporary Romanian poetry. These new translations by Adam J. Sorkin and Andreea Iulia Scridon show an eccentric and original mind rubbing up against the rules and rubric of his day, threshing new colours from the night, lifting a veil, to paraphrase Shelley, from the hidden beauty of the world.
