Biography

A trilingual poet writing in English, French, and Romanian, exploring the fusion of the cerebral and the sensory.

She is the author of six poetry collections.

Her poems have appeared in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France in publications such as Canadian Literature, carte blanche, Contemporary Verse 2, New York Quarterly, and California Quarterly and have been nominated for SFPA Rhysling Award and Best of the Net.

Moga's poetry has been translated into German, Spanish, Korean and Farsi, further extending its reach across linguistic and cultural boundaries.

A hallmark of Moga's poetics is her fusion of the cerebral and the sensory. Her work is rooted in the belief that poetry is not just an act of expression, but an immersive experience - an observatory of shifting realities, held together by the cadences of language.
