"Aurelian Zisu - one of the most important representatives of contemporary Craiova poetry - in his latest volume of poems poetically revalues the figure of Cerberus, a mythical character who, in the imagination of the ancient Greeks, guarded the entrance to Hell. Giving a new lyrical meaning to the tragic feeling, Zisu's Cerberus descends to the earth, a sign that the imminence of death is always present among people, but just as Orpheus defeated him on Cerberus, the drama in verses with balladic and sometimes even burlesque accents, makes us enjoy the present and remind us that poetry is itself a rite of passage through utterance, a chance to taste a little of the feeling of immortality."
