Liliana Ursu, author of eight books of poetry in Romanian, and her translator, Sean Cotter, read and discuss Ursu's poetry as part of a post-Communism literary movement in the country. Ursu says her childhood in the city of Sibiu, where she lived with her parents and then her grandparents when her family moved to Bucharest, gave her a sense of home and shelter that influences her work. Hosted by Institute for Human Sciences at Boston University on March 26, 2009.
