Ioana Petrescu is a Romanian-born poet who lives in Adelaide. Her poems have been published in Australia and Romania, in newspapers, magazines and on the Internet. Her first poetry collection, I Say… (Wakefield Press 1999), received enthusiastic praise: ‘Petrescu is a versatile, cosmopolitan poet whose intelligence and wit make every poem interesting in this too-small collection.’ – Bev Roberts, Australian Book Review
