Summary/Abstract: The poems and prose‑poems that make up Petru Ilieșu’s Territories of Initiation (Planetarium Publishing, 2025) project the scenes (the representations) of the film of mental life, reflected on the surfaces of times and languages understood as manifestations of magic—that is, of the Great, illusory‑cinematographic Beauty of the World. / Concise, polished with the passion of a “Jeweler” “master of the art of miniature,” set out in search of the golden grain of the text, 7 Stories about the End of the World, by Florian Mihalcea (Brumar Publishing, 2025; foreword by Viorel Marineasa; afterword by Horia Dulvac), contains four parts or panels, skillfully framed within Johannine eschatology: “Seven Seals,” “Seven Trumpets,” “Seven Bowls,” “Seven Plagues.”
