About the poetry anthology

As far as our contribution to the Comenius poetry anthology is concerned, I would like to inform you that these five students have chosen six poems belonging to six different poets. The poems must deal with the themes which are also present in the title of the partnership: earth, sea, sky. The students also translated the poems and then commented upon them in a one-page essay each. I as a teacher, was also requested to choose a poem, translate it and comment upon it, too.

Here are the names of the poets and titles of the poems respectively:

1. Odă soarelui / Ode to the Sun de/by Nicolae Labiş (chosen by student Loredana Cristinaru);
2. Înserare marină / Marine twilight de/by Nichita Stănescu (chosen by student Nicu Agapi);
3. Miracol / Miracle de/by Tudor Arghezi (chosen by student Sergiu Adi Loghin);
4. Stelele-n cer / Stars in the Sky de/by Mihai Eminescu (chosen by Monica Zimbru);
5. Furtuna / The Storm de/by George Topîrceanu (chosen by student Sergiu Adi Loghin);
6. Miezul iernii / In the Middle of Winter de/by Vasile Alecsandri (chosen by student Cristina Bivol);
7. Pămantul / The Earth de/by Lucian Blaga (chosen by myself)
I have displayed these poems and commentating essays in school today. I am going to desplay the logos our students came up with.

Also, we have been meeting almost every week; once a week.
I selected the students that are going to represent our school at the Poetry Slam in Finland, at the 2nd Comenius project meeting. The participating Romanian students are: 1. Cristina Bivol with a poem in the English language, 2. Sergiu Adi Loghin and Loredana Cristinaru with a poem in our national language, the Romanian language. We are still working on this activity.

That's all for the time being. Talk soon,
Yours truly
