Nora IugaOne of the most important, productive, and original Romanian writers and translators, Nora Iuga (born 4 January 1931) has had a career that spans more than five decades. She made her editorial debut in 1968 with the collection of poems It's not My Falt ("Vina nu e a mea"). Under the accusation that her work disseminated "morbid eroticism" and would have a bad influence on the young generation, Iuga was banned by the communist censors from publishing fiction and poetry from 1971 to 1978, while her books were withdrawn from public libraries and book stores. Since then, she has published twenty collections of poems, and twice been awarded the Romanian Writers' Union Prize for Best Poetry Collection of the Year. Read More Read Less
