-2016). I taught literature and poetry at Johns Hopkins University, the University of Baltimore, and Louisiana State University. In 1983 (anno mirabilis), I wrote weekly for The Baltimore Sun and the City Paper, and started commenting regularly on NPR (National Public Radio.) In 1989, I returned to Romania to cover the fall of the Ceausescu regime for NPR and ABC News, and wrote The Hole in the Flag: an Exile's Story of Return and Revolution. After this return, I reconnected with the Romanian language, and have gone back every two years. The result is a body of work in Romanian. English is still my primary language, but I think that being bilingual is beneficial. My most recent books are:

• Visul Diacritic (Editura Nemira, 2021) poetry in Romanian

• No Time Like Now (Pitt Series, University of Pittsburgh Press, 2019)

• The Collected Japanese Ghost Stories of Lafcadio Hearn, which I introduced and edited (Princeton University Press, 2019

• The Art of Forgetting: New Poems (Sheep Meadow Press, 2016)

• Bibliodeath: My Archives (with Life in Footnotes) (Antibookclub, 2012)

• So Recently Rent a World: New and Selected Poems (Coffee House, 2012)

• Whatever Gets You Through the Night: a Story of Sheherezade and The Arabian Entertainments (Princeton University Press, 2011)

• The Posthuman Dada Guide: Tzara and Lenin Play Chess, (Princeton University Press, 2009)

• The Poetry Lesson (Princeton University Press, 2010)
