More about the book

Exploring Romania's rich heritage, Kenneth Radu's linked poems weave together mythological and historical figures, including Dracula and Vlad the Impaler, alongside personal narratives of immigrants and celebrated pianists. The interplay between these characters and a contemporary gardener-pianist creates a tapestry of experiences that serve as both an exorcism and a celebration of resilience. The work reflects the enduring human spirit and the quest for spiritual regeneration amidst the shadows of the past, highlighting the power of art and memory.
