The poems were translated by a famous Romanian poet, aphorist, playwright and politician Valeriu Butulescu. “The e-version is simply called Poezja-Poezie. The volume will be entitled “Femeile şi cicolata” (“Women and Chocolate”) or Cele două feţe ale lunii (“Two Sides of the Moon”). I like the first title better, while Valeriu – the second one,” explained Marzena Mackojć.

As a matter of “rematch” Marzena and her Lithuanian friends are preparing translation of the aphorisms of Valeriu Butulescu. “Presently we are translating the aphorisms from his volume “Sand oasis” which will be released in Lithuania in Lithuanian language.
