Mihaela was born inRomania and came to America inherearly twenties. Shewrites inEng lish,buthersensibilityisperhapsmore European than American. I say European rather than Eastern European because herknowledgeof that continent'spoetry isprofoundand isnot limited, say. toher confrereseither in subjectmatter or style,as such. She is the mostAmerican ofall, a newcomer, who wants to celebrate this continent as I his continentiswaiting tocelebrateher. The Immigrant Wife's Song, for example, isWhit ma lian to the core, but Whitman as a woman, as a woman in 2010 might be. Shewrites extensivelyabout orphans,street pec vie, suicides, gypsies, cattle-cars, mole people. Romania inherhead, on hermind; but also love, food, ancestors. She is a superb new writer, ex traordinarily gifted.I readherwith joy. - Gerald Stern Grigorescu's Jiganca Romania, 1980s At five, Iwas convinced shewas my mother, theGypsy woman in theGrigorescu sketch. framed ingilded wood, our kitchen's icon: large loops of raven braids hidden inhalf-scarf, head tilted inexhaustion, bared breast hasting home toquell me.
