‘Crossing the Carpathians’ is a collection of poems about exile, family, and the survival of love. Carmen Bugan was born in Romania, and her book has its origins in her experiences during the 1980s, as a child of political dissidents and as an exile from her country. Written in America, Ireland, and England, her poems are about crossing countries and languages, recording loss and celebration, reconciling memories with dreams.

Carmen Bugan has lived in the US and Ireland, she now lives in Oxford. She won a Hopwood Award and a Cowden Memorial Fellowship at the University of Michigan for her poetry. Her poetry is included in Oxford Poets 2001 Anthology (Carcanet).
