Of Gentle Wolves
Anthology
Translated from Romanian by Martin Woodside
Of Gentle Wolves is an anthology translated by Martin Woodside from Romanian, gathering Romanian-language poetry from Romania through an anthology of Romanian gentleness and wolves, where tenderness and danger occupy the same creaturely field. 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 wolves, gentleness, anthology, and the unexpected softness inside forms of threat. Anthologies can become maps, but the best ones also leave room for wandering, disagreement, and surprise. Of Gentle Wolves belongs in the translated poetry library because it gives readers a many-voiced Romanian collection shaped by fable, animal presence, and emotional complexity. It gives a reader several doors into a tradition before asking them to choose only one.
