Ars Poetica: a Polemic
I am I.
I am personal.
I am subjective, intimate, private,
particular,
confessional.
All that happens,
happens to me.
The landscape I describe
is myself. . . .
If you're interested
in birds, trees, rivers,
try reference books.
Don't read my poems.
I'm no indexed bird,
tree or river,
just a registered Self.
Nina Cassian (1924—2014) was born in Galati, Romania. A composer, journalist, film critic, and translator of Shakespeare and Brecht, Cassian was exiled from Romania in 1985.
