Book excerpt: Poetry book, in English, by Ana Blandiana, one of the most important contemporary poets of Romania. The book title "God on Roller Skates" wasinspired by the poem "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 "My Native Land A4" (Bloodaxe, UK, 2014) 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 "My Native Land A4" represents the translation of the volume "Patria mea A4" by Blandiana. The present volume "God on Roller Skates" was also published in a Romanian edition called "Dumnezeu pe role" and in a bilingual edition (Romanian - Englihsh).
