“The
Romanian Astropoetry / Cosmopoetry movement has published a series of slim
anthologies, on particular astronomical themes, including competition results
and works read at cosmopoetry festivals. Issued as special supplements to <Noi si
Cerul>, the magazine of the Romanian Society for Meteors and Astronomy, in
Romanian and English translation by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe...” “Let
me start this issue by dedicating it to the <Societatea Astronomica Romana de
Meteori> (the Romanian Society for Meteors and Astronomy) and their publication
<Noi si Cerul> (Us and the Sky); and in doing so, a special mention goes out to
key member and writer for <The Dragon Chronicle>, Andrei Dorian Gheorghe.” “Terrific imagery, bizzare thoughts,
quite a strong sense of the truly cosmic.” “Gheorghe,
moreover, is Assistant Editor in Chief of SARM's nationally distributed
magazine <Noi si Cerul> (Us and the Sky), which gives space to astropoetry in every
issue. SARM also supports the publication of a variety of anthologies of
astropoetry Gheorghe edits, in Romanian and also in English translation.” “To
my knowledge, the Romanian organization SARM is the world’s only organization
devoting much effort to the publication of astropoetry. Romanian astropoets are
quite prolific, and Andrei Dorian Gheorghe is eager to correspond with anyone
outside Romania who is interested in meteors, poetry and other arts…” “Then
the Romanian observers gave their traditional astropoetry performance, directed
by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe. As always, the show was well-liked among the
participants. “One of our new readings will
actually be a series of five readings in Romania. The coordinator, Andrei Dorian
Gheorghe, has written a short blurb to share his pleasure at participating in
this global event.” |
