    About the Book

    Edit

    Poetry book by Ana Blandiana, one of the most important contemporary poets of Romania. The book title “God on Roller Skates” was inspired by the poem “Pe role” / “On roller skates” in which God gets on roller skates to be among young people to guide them. The book contains 18 poems from the volume “Patria mea A4”/”My Native Land A4”) in which the poet recreates in verses, delicate or strong, her beloved homeland: landscapes, people, atmosphere. The A4 in the title refers to the paper format used by writers. The book also contains two articles (one long with many photographs, and one short) about the 2015 Southern California tour of Ana Blandiana and her husband, journalist-writer Romulus Rusan, as well as an afterword written by the poetess herself. The 18 poems in the book “God on Roller Skates” are illustrated, in a modern, inciting, expressive way, in a variety of styles adequate to the poems, by the well-known American artist-illustrator Jerry W. McDaniel. The book is available also in a Romanian edition (“Dumnezeu pe role”), and in a bilingual edition (Romanian and English).

    I am a Professor Emerita retired, after 37 years, from California State University, Northridge. My professional interests and teaching areas were manufacturing engineering, artificial intelligence, CAD/CAM, statistics, and engineering economics. I published numerous articles and chapters in books, and participated at national and international conferences (making presentations, organizing sessions) in my specialty fields in engineering. I am of Romanian origin, but have lived for 48 years in Los Angeles. I traveled extensively. I am a journalist too, since throughout the years, I published many articles about exceptional Romanian presence around the world. I was working in the field of engineering but given my studies in architecture and industrial des my “other passion” is art. I own an art gallery whose emphasis is on modern art, and which organizes cultural events.
