A Bagful of Poetry

One of the nicest places in town is "Carturesti" (an invented name made of "carturar", an old form for "learned" and "Bucuresti"). It's a combination of bookshop, music shop and tea shop, where you can spend a few wonderful and relaxing hours among books, CD's, DVD's, albums, drawings, tea and accessories, photos, candles and all kind of nice objects that some would call useless.
Their last initiative, We Collect Poetry, concerns bringing back poetry into our lives and its catch phrase is : Pozia mai seduce sau se duce? (Does poetry still seduce or is it gone?) As you see, it's a word game putting together "seduce" (seduces) and "se duce" (is going).
It invites people to bring their favourite poem, in any form they choose, but even better in a personalized one.
All the poems are to be collected in a truck and anyone can read them. In the end, they will be turned into an art book and kept in the bookstore. Maybe I will contribute, if I have the time to choose a poem these days.
