/Newspaper: The environment plays a major role in preparing the poet for the difficult test, which is the Roman poem
How did your environment contribute to the imposition of poetic themes?
**The fact that the inspiring environment plays its primary role in the formation and development of the poet, as it affects the style he pursues and this may go beyond the themes, structure and essence of poetry.
The environment creates that interaction with the ocean of people, societal culture, and shared history, part of which we remain controlled by factors that shape the way we view the world and, implicitly, how we convey it through lyrics. In my case, the environment in which I grew up was closely linked to the cultural traditions and values of the region I came from, Southeast Europe. This setting not only gave me a rich spiritual heritage, but also gave me sensitivity to themes related to the historical past and the spiritual symbols of the place. The connection to nature, the specific landscape of the area, the rhythms and the surrounding sounds all had a great impact on the poetic image we created over time. Every detail around us can become a metaphor or a topic that helps us better understand ourselves and the world. Reflections on these elements are inexhaustible sources of inspiration, which form the core of my writing and continue to enrich my vision of poetry
Newspaper: Roman poets who preceded the beautiful poet Corina. What impact did you leave on the ancient Roman cultural scene?
** Our ancestors of Roman poets had a great influence on national literature, influencing the development of cultural identity. From Mihai Emnescu, the icon of Roman literature, with romantic and lyrical poems, to Ion Barbo and Theodore Arghese, who brought innovations in modernism, they transformed the language and form of Roman poetry. Georges Kubok linked poetry to peasant life, and Lucien Blaga explored philosophical and mystical themes, deepening national identity. Poets such as Nikolai Labisch, Marin Soriscu and Anna Plendiana presented a new vision, addressing traditional and social themes, but with a vision accessible to the general public. The legacy of these authors continues to inspire writers today, outlining the core themes of Roman poetry
Newspaper: Why is the Roman poem known to be satiric?
**Irony in Roman poetry or what is known for the art of satura, fact
Irony was a powerful means for Roman poets to criticize the social and political realities of ancient Rome. Satura art was the medium they used for this, and this art was characterized by ridicule and social criticism.
Notable Roman poets, such as Lucilius and Horatios, were among the most important representatives of this art. They used irony in their poems to criticize the prevailing behaviors and morals in Roman society. Lucilius was a pioneer in this art, and his poems were characterized by irony and social criticism.
Irony in Roman poetry was not only a means of criticizing society, but also a way of expressing philosophical ideas and values. Roman poets considered irony a way to educate and improve society.
The art of the satora had a great influence on Roman and Latin literature. This art was characterized by irony and social criticism, and was exemplified in the poems of prominent Roman poets. Satura art is an important part of the Roman literary heritage and is considered a source of inspiration for many writers and writers of later eras.
Al-Jarida: How does the literary community receive poetry forums?
From it, we open the conversation about the number of your poetry collections and what are the difficult stages that prevented their spread in the countries near you?
** The literary community is often open and encouraging to poetry forums, being a space for dialogue and promotion of talent. However, access to and dissemination of poetry collections can face obstacles, especially when it comes to the local and regional context. These difficulties are often associated with a lack of visibility and limited resources for promotion, but also with linguistic or cultural barriers that can prevent the circulation of business more widely.
As far as I'm concerned, I have published two collections of poetry: "The Rite of the Sunrise" and "Exile in the Light," and three other collections awaiting printing. The past few years have been difficult for me, as I have been battling cancer, a disease that has exhausted me physically and emotionally. This greatly limited my energy and resources to continue writing and publishing. However, now that I have felt much better and the strength is ready to face the challenges, I am preparing to deploy these remaining kits. It is a period of revitalization, in which I intend to present my works to readers, which is a reflection of this path full of experiences, but also of rebirth
Al-Jarida: Can you tell us about the characteristics of the Roman poem and its development?
** The Roman poem is a literary form that combines the features of poetry and prose, and has roots in the narrative tradition of the novel, but adapts to the lyrical dimension. The main feature of the genre is the ability to tell a story in a poetic way, through the use of figurative language and poetic images. The Roman poem is distinguished by its narrative fluidity, combining detailed descriptions of characters and landscapes with a deep exploration of the characters' feelings and inner thoughts.
The development of the Roman poem was gradual, starting with works that combined epic elements and poetic structures. In the twentieth century, the genre underwent a major transformation, being influenced by modern and postmodern literary currents, which brought a break from narrative traditionalism. Over the centuries, many Roman poets influenced the directions of this art, each with a unique style and different approach. Among the most important Romanian poets who shaped national poetry was Mihai Eminescu, who is considered a symbol of Roman romantic poetry, in a deep language, full of mystical and philosophical images. Rainer Maria Rilke and Jean Genet, although not Roman authors, had a global influence on European poetry and literature, and their fluid and introspective structures also influenced contemporary Roman poets, paving the way for deeper explorations of the human psyche and poetic language.
Nowadays, the Roman poem remains an experimental literary form, allowing great creative freedom, where narrative and lyricism are intertwined to give rise to complex universes.
Newspaper: How do you deal with historical and cultural themes in your poetry?
**In my poetry, historical and cultural themes are often presented as a fusion of past and present, exploring the deep connections between individual and collective identity. History is a fertile ground for reflections, being a starting point for understanding the context in which we live and addressing the changes that society is going through.
However, I don't just reconstruct events or characters from the past, but I aim to give them a contemporary voice, in order to explore their deep and sometimes forgotten meanings. In this way poetry becomes a dialogue between times, an attempt to better understand the cultural and historical essence, but also to reinterpret them in a modern and personal light.
Al-Jarida: What is the importance of the Romanian language in your poetry?
** The Romanian language has an essential place in my poetry, it is not only a tool of communication, but also a sacred environment in which each verse is born and developed. Every word and every sound has a deep emotional and cultural charge, and the Romanian language, with its own melody and rhythm, has allowed me to express not only ideas, but also sensations and images that derive their sap from our traditions and history. After all, it is my mother tongue, and only in Romanian am I the most creative. It is the language that has shaped my thinking and sensitivity, and in poetry, this connection is evident in the way I play with words, defining their meanings and giving them my own vibration. The Romanian language is a work to reaffirm my identity and connection to my cultural roots
Newspaper :. How do you deal with other cultural influences on your hair?
**Cultural influences on my style are an essential part of who I am. With such a diverse background, every language and culture I came into contact with has left an imprint on how I perceive the world and how I express it through poetry.
The degree in English, which I received from the University of Bucharest, opened the door to a wide and varied literature, which influenced my thinking and the way poetic discourse is structured. French, which I learned at school, brought refinement and elegance to my style, while my time as a teacher at Syriana School in Bucharest allowed me to understand the depth and spirituality of Arabic language and culture. Italy, where I lived for 5 years, with its literary and artistic history, enriched my expressionism, bringing a dose of aesthetic sensitivity specific to this culture.
These influences are reflected in my poetry as a mosaic of images and ideas, each language is an open window to a different but interconnected world.
Al-Jarida: In the case you mentioned, how do you see the cross-fertilization of multilingualism on the poet's talent?
**Cross-fertilization through multilingualism is an important topic that highlights the role of language in shaping cultural identity and promoting understanding between different cultures.,By promoting cultural understanding: Multilingualism allows individuals to communicate with other cultures, which promotes mutual understanding and respect.
With multiple languages they reflect the diversity of cultures and express individual and societal identities.
The more we learn new languages, the greater the poet's cultural horizon and allows us to benefit from the experiences and expertise of other cultures.
By exchanging ideas and cultural values between different communities.
It is possible to discuss an example of cross-fertilization of cultures through the multiplicity of languages in the continent of Africa and the Arabic language, which was drawn in many African countries, and is used in cultural and economic communication between Arab and African countries.
It is the language of communication common in many Asian countries, and is used in education, economy and culture.
A language can face a challenge with another language at the point of cultural identity
Especially if language is an important part of identity.
