"A cult author throughout Europe, Blandiana’s work reflects – as has been written – a deep understanding of the Romanian spirit during a historic period of oppression, and establishes defeat and hope as the guidelines of her literary project. Known for her anti-communist poetry, Blandiana distinguished herself by a sublime rebellion that led her for years to live as an exile within her own country."
