Synopsis

Written in unsparing, haunting detail, Claudia Serea's unforgettable A Dirt Road Hangs From the Sky brings to life the horrors of the brutal communist repression in her native Romania in the second part of the 20th century - the prisons, the torture, the barbarous inhumanity- preserving in memory a time that should never be forgotten. She writes: "Tell me, grandma, everything you know / so I can be your mouth when you are gone." The grief is lasting; memory must serve as justice. - Charles Rammelkamp, editor of The Potomac Review, author of Fusen Bakudan ABOUT THE AUTHOR Claudia Serea, a two-time Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee, is a Romanian-born poet who immigrated to the U.S. in 1995.
