One of Moldova's most awarded poets, Emilian Galaicu-Păun's style is rich with references at once playful and thematically serious, at times even comic.Canting Arms, the first collection to bring Emilian Galaicu-Păun's work to Anglophone readers, is comprised of a career-spanning selection of his work produced from 1989-2019. These poems--sardonic and visionary as well as surprising--unsettle the normative poetic form, a reflection of Moldova's unorthodox national history as a product of the clash of many historical narratives of empire, a crossroad between East and West. This collection, the work of Adam J. Sorkin with six co-translators, shows everything from his earlier poems, full of scriptural and erotic references, to later work full of complex political, historical, and psychological considerations.
