Irina Moga is an award-winning, trilingual author writing in English, French, and Romanian. The author of six poetry collections, she brings a distinctive voice to contemporary literature, one interlaced with lyrical depth.
Her collection Variations sans palais (Éditions L’Harmattan, Paris) received the 2022 Dina Sahyouni International Literary Prize in France. Sea Glass Circe (Leaside Books, 2019) was selected by the jury of the Toronto LitUp! Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA) for an official launch under the auspices of Toronto Litup! in 2020.
Irina's poems, short stories and reviews appeared widely in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France in publications such as Canadian Literature, carte blanche, Contemporary Verse 2, Prism International online, Hotch Potch Literature and Arts, New York Quarterly, California Quarterly, Split Rock Review and Lettres Capitales. Her work has been nominated for the 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.
