If poetry is the food of love, it's also its creation. Cezara Missing's bilingual volume Poems to My Son/ Poezii pentru fiul meu is a moving gift from a mother to her son who sees the world with different eyes after the life-changing experience of giving birth: the magic eyes of childhood. Written in Romanian, German or English, this poetry is both worldly and local, transnational in its experience, but deeply rooted in the traditional religious practices and beliefs of northern Bucovina. Poems to My Son has many poetic surprises in store for its reader, including the overarching impression that the title could have well been Poems to My Sun.
