Antologia de Poezie Americana Contemporana face parte dintr-un proiect editorial coordonat de Carmen Firan si Paul Doru Mugur, care presupune publicarea in parteneriat in Statele Unite, la prestigioasa editura Talisman din New York, a unei antologii de poezie romana in limba engleza, de la Tudor Arghezi pina la sfirsitul secolului XX.

„Poetii reprezentati aici sint dificili nu numai pentru ca-s dificili pe orice limba, dar si pentru ca provin din «scoli» diferite. Fii, simbolici si literali, ai lui Ted Berrigan, cei mai multi socheaza prin relaxare. Altii socheaza prin crispare. Liniile lor de comunicare si influenta duc direct la artistii abstracti si pop din New York si la muzicienii-poeti ca Lou Reed, John Kyle, Tom Waits. In contrast cu poetii fluenti originari din programele de scriitori de tipul Iowa care-au fost favorizati prin traduceri in Romania, acesti poeti rup si li se rupe de conventiile pur literare inca mentinute in universitati, dar radiaza umanitate si «suflet» si, in plus, citiva au un simt al umorului sau al ironiei care e tabu in poezia aprobata in mai toate tarile. Cititorul roman o sa auda eruditia mediilor incrucisate daca se desparte o clipa de ideea «poeziei traduse».� (Andrei Codrescu)

No Man's Land. An excellent anthology of American poetry translated in Romanian. Excellent that is if you enjoy, like me, something unpredictable and rather courageous. As a warning, you should bear in mind that there is a lot of language/gnostic/neomodernism and all sorts of post-surrealist experimentalism in here and less neo-beat or prosaic kind of minimalism - which is why some Romanian readers (poets themselves, of course), who were used to the image of American poetry they got from Mircea Ivănescu's old anthology of translated American poetry, image centered on, of course, the likes of Ginsberg... I, on the other hand, find these intricate and refined poets a lot more interesting to explore. A bit of a puzzle craze too, since it took me a lot to sink my teeth into this book (a bit thick, but even more dense). But I won't get bored too soon.
