About Mihai Codreanu
- Mihai Codreanu (Romanian pronunciation: [mi'haj ko'dre?anu]; July 25, 1876 – October 23, 1957) was a Romanian poet, particularly noted for his sonnets.
- A native and lifelong resident of Ia?i, he published his first volume of verse in 1901, followed by another two years later that solidified his reputation.
- Aside from another book of sonnets in 1914 and two during the 1920s, he authored three highly successful translations of French plays.
- He also edited a series of newspapers and wrote widely for an array of literary reviews.
- Attracted to the stage from early on, he led and reformed the main theatre in his city for several years after World War I, and during the 1930s presided over the arts school in Ia?i.
- Beginning in 1905, he suffered from an eye disease that soon left him unable to read or write, tasks that he accomplished through intermediaries.
