Romania's comic genius Marin Sorescu was so popular during the
worst of the Ceausescu years that his readings had to be held in
football stadiums, and his books sold hundreds of thousands of
copies. While his witty, ironic parables were not directly critical
of the regime, Romanians used to a culture of double-speak could
read other meanings in his playful mockery of the human condition.
All this time, however, he was also writing the 'secret poems' he
did not dare publish then because - as Dan Zamfirescu commented -
'the gesture would have been the equivalent of suicide'. Censored
Poems is a selection from two books published in Bucharest after
1989, including borderline poems censored by the authorities as
well as the riskier secret poems censored by the author.
