FOREWORD\n\natalina Florescu frst came to my attention in the summer of2017,as a participant in the Tupelo Press 30/30 poem-a-dayproject.For thirty days I had the privilege of her daily poems.The lilt in her syntax captured me throughout that June,an underlyingthread travelling through her poetry.Born in Romania,a nation few ofus in the US know,Catalinas dual languages give her poems fluency toexpress a life stretched between continents,of diaspora experienced as awoman loving her way through loss,leaving,and healing her in passage.She shares the pain of losing older relatives whom you can’t accompanyat the end.This is just one of the moments that filled me with a familiarache.Catalina also engages her audience as secret witnesses,so you areinvited to join her on the other side of migration.  \nBeing exposed to multiple tongues as a child can develop a truerear.You learn to listen for meanings and context inside and outsidethe familiarity of the language you know,catching glimpses of life andperspectives unattainable any other way.Her words are sensual andinsistent.They draw you through lettered fold and shadow,no barrieror edge is respected.You'll have no excuse to stop.  \nCatalina's stanzas demand your presence.They may be lined throughor fingered,you won’t be allowed to abandon them,'til you understandthat you are not allowed to be \"other.\"Try a cloud of butterfly wings,concrete and barbed wire,fre,cancer—you're accompanied and inthe presence of her ferce love.We hear that in order to be genuinein English,something of the foreign must be retained.Listen for it.You're not permitted to escape until you understand that migrationsbring us together,unify us,cross-pollinating all our identities,ourdeepest selves.  \nFor Catalina,roots are carried close inside like a cherished melody.She can sink them deeply and permanently into a new homeland.She knows they'll find their way through you,inhabit you if you letthem,they're ready to harmonize with every new landing.This bookis a timely glimpse for us all,and a gift to everyone who has moved far","cbCainNJ6sbhbsp9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainNJ6sbhbsp9","pdf",2586517,64,"English","# FOREWORD\n## American Hiatus","[{\"question\":\"What does the foreword say about Catalina Florina
