Constantin Severin's poems belonging to the poetry collection ''The Cities of Giorgio de Chirico are marvelous. I respond with my own blood and half-forgotten memories to his visceral accounts of a world undergoing dissolution, a change far beyond the ordinary and for which words cannot suffice and yet, miraculously, they do in his poems. I am taken most of all with the evocations of an older Romania, which existed in myths and in the mythic visitations of hummingbird, lilac, and butterflies and grandparents. There is about the suite a quality of legend, something ancient and I believe that Severin and the translator Slim FitzGerald have succeeded in capturing the ancient mind that lies beneath the body bags, the plague beneath the Corona virus.
