Description
Nina Cassian, an exiled Romanian poet who sought refuge in the United States after her poems satirizing the regime of President Nicolae Ceausescu fell into the hands of his secret police, died on Monday at her home in Manhattan. She was 89. A prominent writer and translator in Romania before she was forced to seek asylum in 1985, Ms. Cassian had since become well known in the West. Her poems some translated to English; other, more recent ones composed in English have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly and elsewhere.
Her English-language collections include Life Sentence: Selected Poems (1990), Take My Word for It (1998) and Continuum (2008).
Intense, passionate and cleareyed, Ms. Cassian's poetry often centered on the nature of erotic love and both before her exile and after of loss, death and decay. ( The New York Times )
