Anastasia Gavrilovici

Anastasia Gavrilovici (b. 1995) is a poet and translator based in Bucharest. She studied literature, arts, and cinema, and in 2019 she published her first poetry collection, Industria liniștirii adulților [The industry of comforting adults]. Her narrative, immersive poems develop dark but also endearing scenarios from everyday life, mapping the experiences of a young woman as teenager, lover, and mother against a patriarchal and hyper-digitalized civilization, questioning, at the same time, the limits of freedom of expression and gender balance in a post-communist country.
