re.volver is a book about trauma and how to leave it behind. it is a very complex volume of poems that can be deceptive at first glance if you don’t give it the attention it deserves. Livia Ștefan has worked very precisely and I have tried to reflect this in the translation. Her radical and unconventional use of language makes Ștefan’s book an exciting reading experience. The images she conjures are memorable and encourage readers to reflect on their own personal past. (Translator Manuela Klenke)
