Memory glyphs is an anthology translated by Adam J. Sorkin from Romanian, gathering Romanian-language poetry from Romania through an anthology of Romanian memory, glyphs, and inscription as a way of carrying what ordinary record cannot. Its value comes from chorus rather than singular authorship, so I would not treat it as one poet’s private weather. The better entrance is through memory, glyphs, anthology, and the marks a language leaves when history keeps pressing on it. Anthologies can become maps, but the best ones also leave room for wandering, disagreement, and surprise. Memory glyphs belongs in the translated poetry library because it introduces Romanian poetry as a many-voiced archive of sign, image, and survival. It gives a reader several doors into a tradition before asking them to choose only one.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
