Magda Isanos
b. 17 April 1916, Jassy – d. 17 November 1944, Bucharest
Poet, prose writer, publicist
Magda Isanos is one of the most important poets of the interbellum period in particular and Romanian literary history in general. Unfortunately, she is also a great poet whose has unjustly fallen into oblivion. There are no substantial critical studies of the work of this brilliant poet and no recent editions.
The 13 December 1937 issue of Lumea newspaper was where the talent of Magda Isanos was first remarked upon: ‘precious discovery made by Jassy Record.’ On 26 December, the newspaper announced ‘a new and rising talent, that of Miss M. I., a poet of transcendental interests marvellously rendered in poems of a boldness that steps beyond the feminine.’
Her poetry, whose tone is now grave, affected by a feeling of mortality, now marked by an enthusiasm for struggles that transcend the sphere of the individual, clearly stands out as among the most sophisticated of the time and was to have an impact on poets to come. in The Metamorphoes of Poetry (Editura pentru Literatură, 1968), Nicolae Manolescu calls her ‘an exceptional poet, with a great influence on the whole of post-war women’s poetry,’ and expresses his regret at her early death due to illness: ‘Magda Isanos’s presentiment was quickly borne out and we can only regret that she did not live longer, given that even from the limited body of work she left behind she promised to be the most profound poetess of Romanian literature.’
Her work includes the collections Poems (1943), The Song of the Mountains (1945), Fires (1945), a play written with Eusebiu Camilar, The Land of Light / Hymns for the Earth (1946), Poems (1955). The posthumous Poems, which brought together the greater part of her work, including previously unpublished poems, appeared in 1964, with a preface by Marin Bucur.
