The talent of writing poetry lies in the ability to distill emotion, thought, and experience into evocative language that resonates beyond the page. It is both a craft and a calling, demanding sensitivity to rhythm, metaphor, and meaning. Elusive Echoes exemplifies this gift, offering a remarkable contribution by a student passionately immersed in poetry, languages, translation, and literature. Each poem in the volume reveals a deep engagement with the intricacies of language and the subtle power of expression. The writer’s multilingual awareness enriches the verses, allowing for layered interpretations and nuanced imagery. Elusive Echoes is not merely a collection of poems, but a testament to the formative years of a writer discovering their voice. The themes range from introspection and longing to cultural bridges and linguistic play. Through translation and poetic experimentation, the author explores how words can both conceal and reveal. This volume marks a promising beginning for a literary mind devoted to the art of language. Lect. Univ. Dr. Andreea-Maria Sarmasiu
Elusive echoes is a poetry collection about love that lingers even when it’s gone.
about touches that stay on your skin,
about voices you can still hear when the room is silent.
these poems are not about remembering perfectly—
they’re about the fragments,
the feelings you cannot name,
the moments that slip away but never leave.
About the author
Ma numesc Daria-Cristina Fratiloiu, am 21 de ani si sunt studenta la Facultatea de Litere, Universitatea Babes-Bolyai din Cluj-Napoca, specializarea Limbi Moderne Aplicate. Scriu poezie in limba engleza de la varsta de 15 ani, iar la 17 ani am publicat primul meu volum – Old Touch – la editura Letras. Cartea este disponibila atat in librarii fizice (precum Libris), cat si online, inclusiv international (Barnes & Noble).
Temele care ma inspira cel mai mult sunt iubirea, pierderea, melancolia si fragilitatea interioara, iar poezia a fost mereu pentru mine un mod de exprimare sincer si profund. In 2023 am fost invitata sa scriu prefata volumului Lanturile Nelinistii al poetului David Serea, iar de-a lungul timpului am publicat texte in reviste si platforme literare precum Bookcoffeeshop, Interdix, Subtext, Tuszine si Change It Up Magazine.
Am participat la seri de poezie si evenimente artistice, precum cele organizate de comunitatea Decopertat, si am fost implicata in proiecte creative interdisciplinare – un exemplu fiind poezia Inimi firave, care a fost interpretata intr-un cadru teatral si este disponibila pe Spotify.
