TWOXISM by Claudia Serea & Maria HaroWhat began as a collaboration project between two life-long friends-Maria Haro, a visual artist, and Claudia Serea, a poet-resulted in a refreshing lyricism of urban photography and poetry. Twoxism is a work that finds beauty in unexpected places and sees the mundane with redemptive eyes. A city love story, tender and gritty at the same time, Twoxism, an invented word for all things two, is about love, life, friendship, and relationships.

Written in unsparing, haunting detail, Claudia Serea's unforgettable A Dirt Road Hangs From the Sky brings to life the horrors of the brutal communist repression in her native Romania in the second part of the 20th century - the prisons, the torture, the barbarous inhumanity- preserving in memory a time that should never be forgotten. She writes: "Tell me, grandma, everything you know / so I can be your mouth when you are gone." The grief is lasting; memory must serve as justice. - Charles Rammelkamp, editor of The Potomac Review, author of Fusen BakudanABOUT THE AUTHORClaudia Serea, a two-time Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee, is a Romanian-born poet who immigrated to the U.S. in 1995.
