Return Ticket from Sydney To Bistrita

<p>The volume is a bilingual English/Romanian collection of poetry uniting the Judith Beveridge Poetry Class in Sydney Australia and the Palace of Culture Poetry Group Literary Connections from Bistrita Romania.</p><p><em>Artists will not always agree in what they express through their art. </em><em style=color: rgba(255 0 0 1)>That would be devastatingly tedious. We have two cities</em><em> one - a large metropolis on the shores of the Pacific the other - a smallish capital of a district in Transylvania. The distance between them is almost 17000 kilometers and they have never influenced each-other. Until now. What chance that the work of artists from such distant realms should find itself within the pages of the same volume? Poetry - breathing a universal ethos - carries to the surface like a miner the diamond of our collective artistic subconscious. And as Judith Beveridge writes in her Foreword this volume reflects the light of truth from the multiple facets of this diamond - in so many different though splendidly complementary hues. </em><em style=color: rgba(255 0 0 1)>Congratulations to the Australian-Romanian Academy to the Palace of Culture in Bistrița and to the Judith Beveridge Poetry Class!</em><em> This is a brilliant initiative! </em><strong>Alex Ștefănescu </strong>Literary Critic and Historian</p>
