Valentin Dolfi, poete oublie dans la solitude d'ermite d'une petite ville des montagnes roumaines, comme le decrit Ioan Es. Pop, m'a fait l'honneur d'accepter que je traduise en francais une anthologie de ses poemes. C'est ainsi qu'est ne ce volume de photos de famille, album de la simplicite d'un quotidien pas si ordinaire que cela. Il regroupe des vers appartenant a trois volumes deja publies mais aussi un cycle inedit dedie a la ville de Baile Govora ou il vous convie a passer vos prochaines vacances. Valentin Dolfi, who is described by Ioan Es. Pop as a poet forgotten among the hermitic solitude of a Romanian mountain village, did me the honour of accepting that I should translate an anthology of his poems. So this volume of "Family Snapshots" was born, an album about the simplicity of daily life, which is not that ordinary after all. It contains verse that belong to three previously published volumes, but also a new cycle dedicated to Baile Govora, where he invites you to take your next trip.
