In this largely autobiographical collection of 74 short prose poems, the poet presents her life in three sections. Angels & Beasts recalls her early years under the regime of Nicolae Ceasescu, a world of secret terror in which the child interweaves reality and malevolent creatures from Romanian folklore. The Little Book of Answers covers the years between the Romanian Revolution (1989) and Serea's emigration to America in 1995. Finally, The Bank Teller's Name is Jesus involves the immigrant's impressions of her new home, always colored by the past she carries with her. Serea's masterful use of brevity, surrealism, irony, and black humor allow her to express -and the reader to confront-unspeakable horrors. She is a survivor, but a survivor with wide-open eyes, determined to move forward holding the darkness and light together.
