    My new book, "La Portile Raiului" was just published by Ars Longa Press in Romania. It was translated into Romanian by Flavia Cosma.
    I just got the books on Saturday. The preface was written by Geo Constantinescu, Universitatea din Craiova.

    If anyone reads/speaks Romanian, it is available for ordering at:

    www.arslonga.ro

    I am very excited about this. It is a dream come true. I wanted to share the good news with everyone.

    Anyone who is in the Boston area or who will be visiting the Boston area on October 17th is welcome to come to a luncheopn at 12:15 at:
    The Burren
    Davis Square
    Somerville. MA

    Come for a cup of coffee, a drink or lunch to help celebrate this book. I will read only one poem and part of the preface. At a later time, I will be launching it with my translator in Canada at a international festival and a book tour in Romania, when my translator and I have enough money saved up to go.

    RSVP to: editor@cervenabarvapress.com
    by July 12th if you want to kick up your heels with me at the restaurant.

    Congratulations Gloria. That is absolutely wonderful news. I only wish I could read Romanian or for that matter visit Boston and share a cup of coffee, a drink or lunch with you. But I do celebrate the book and you from right here right now.

    That's so terrific, Gloria! Congratulations and if I learn to speak Romanian before it's picked up and published in English (and every other language as well!), I'll get one!

    Thanks Susan (Gibb)-

    I am very happy about it. I have to keep pinching myself. Many of the poems in this Romanian book are in my new book, "Nothing Divine Here" which was published in March of this year. It is amazing to see what a poem looks like in a different language.
    I have to really thank Flavia Cosma for the translating. She really is a gem.

    At work, so off I go for now-
