Litera S
 

We made fun of the ignorance of the system, I personally took this right. I published some poems in Orizont magazine in Timisoara, called?The poems of peace?; I had invented all the writers. In the beginning, I sent some poems of existent authors. I looked in some poetry anthologies and I found a certain Nikolia Zidarov from Bulgaria, a kind of Bulgarian Blaga and I wrote something in his style. I signed with many pseudonyms; I was a teacher at Lugoj and I signed with the name of the high school administrator there, with the names of the sport teachers. I asked them and they accepted to have their names printed in Orizont. For instance I used the name of the librarian when I ? translated? from Chinese, Vietnamese, to preserve the same standard. I was asked where I had found the poems and I said I had an anthology UNESCO with poems dedicated to peace and that I actually translated them from French. I remember that once I translated 3 Chinese poets because there had been a visit to China. All the poets- invented! Grosan told me the poems had appeared at the panel in front of the Embassy of China. I had read a lot of Chinese poetry, I spoke about the ? lotus flower of peace?. It was a very simple thing to do. People were ignorant and you could make fun of that.

I wrote some poems and I signed them with Cassius Clay?s name, the poems being all invented by me. They were published in the Almanac of ? Romanian Literara? in 1984, with a foreword written by me. I gave the name of the nonexistent volume, the name of the nonexistent publishing house and a launching date that was obviously as unreal. It was called ? Black Power?, but I had no idea then that the concept ? black power? really existed, that it was a kind of movement. The journalists from ? Romania Literara? rang to Paul Ochialbi who was into boxing and asked him? Listen, has Cassius Clay really written poetry?? He had written indeed. I always started from the truth. He had written poetry, but something in the style ? I am going to beat the crap out of you, Joe Fraser!?; I wrote some poems that were so interesting that Gheorghe Tomozei, poor him, wrote a page in Flacara to analyze the poems. Cristian Topescu read one of the poems at the radio show ? We answer our listeners?. This was the best!

Then I published in ? Carabusul?, a supplement issued by Stelian Tanase, Some inventions. I had a prophesy, I said ? Michael Jackson will sing in Romania, at Victoria Hall of Tanase Theatre, and he will be accompanied by Savoy. ? I wrote it as a joke. Years later, Michael Jackson did come to Romania. He had a press conference there.
