Publisher's Synopsis
Along the eastern edge of Europe, Romania's vibrant poetry perches along perches on the Black Sea. In Cigarettes Until Tomorrow, with black humor searing contemporary language, eight Romanian poets offer profound scenes from everyday life. Tanks invade while soccer games go down to the last minute. There are lonely cemeteries and urine-soaked sheets and endless Instagram reels. The resulting collection is a stunning portrait of all our lives in the 21st century: the boredom, the outrage, and the ecstasy.
