Along the eastern edge of Europe, Romania’s vibrant poetry scene perches on the Black Sea. And in Cigarettes Until Tomorrow, with black humor and in cutting, contemporary language, eight featured Romanian poets assemble a series of profound moments from their daily lives. Tanks invade while soccer games go down to the last minute; there are lonely cemeteries and urine-soaked sheets and endless Instagram reels. And what results is a stunning portrait of all our lives in the 21st century—the cycles of outrage, boredom, and ecstasy—as we get to see ourselves from an entirely new viewpoint.
