I Scrape the Window of Nothingness

I Scrape the Window of Nothingness: New & Selected Poemsis a selectionfrom Stella Vinitchi Radulescu's English-language work published over several decades, along with a substantial collection of unpublished work. Melding the mystical, surrealist, and modernist traditions, Radulescu's work is unique in American poetry. Words become tactile objects in Radulescu's hands, and her poems enable us to experience language as if for the first time. As one reads these poems, gleaming fragments of experience accrue and begin to cohere in unanticipated ways, forming a monument to the mystery of existence.
