2. Sînt Alta
A lyrical exploration of a self in constant metamorphosis, braiding intimate confession with reflections on language, memory, and the body. Voices of woman, mother, daughter, and lover overlap to chart the fractures and solidarities that shape identity, desire, and autonomy amid personal and collective history.

3. Floarea De Menghină
A visceral poetry collection that fuses tenderness with constraint, tracing a woman’s selfhood through memories of childhood, domestic intimacy, and desire under pressure. Mechanical and floral images entwine to reveal the body as both instrument and battleground, transforming violence and vulnerability into precise, luminous language about power, longing, and survival.
