Rotaru is also the author of Într-un pat sub cearsaful alb (In a Bed Under the White Sheet, 2005) and En una cama bajo la sábana blanca (the Spanish translation of her debut volume, 2008). Anca Roncea is a poet and translator. She has lived in Bucharest, Iowa City, Yangon, Los Angeles, Paris, and New York. Through her work, Anca explores the space where language can create pivots in the midst of displacement, while incorporating the aesthetics of Constantin Brancusi and the women artists of the Dada Movement. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and the University of Bucharest’s Cultural Studies MA program. Anca’s poetry has been published in the Berkeley Poetry Review, Beecher’s Magazine, Omniverse, the Bare Life Review, and Lana Turner.
