The Summer of Our Immortality
A poetic journey through time, soul, and becoming
What remains of us when time no longer promises eternity?
In The Summer of Our Immortality, Ana Săcrieru brings her poetic journey to a point of quiet clarity. Following Trilogy of Time—a meditation on temporality and the soul’s movement beyond it—and The Theotokos and the Soul, a profound exploration of love, transcendence, and spiritual motherhood, this third volume of poetry turns toward memory, finitude, and the fragile hope of meaning preserved through love.
If Trilogy of Time traced the soul’s ascent beyond chronology, and The Theotokos and the Soul explored the sacred dimension of love as ontological force, The Summer of Our Immortality dwells in the human interval between loss and continuity. It is a book about the season when immortality still feels possible—not as doctrine, but as lived illusion, carried by love, memory, and shared presence.
Written in a lyrical, contemplative voice, the poems unfold as meditations on becoming, aging, and the effort to hold still what inevitably passes. Time is no longer challenged directly; instead, it is accepted, inhabited, and gently transformed through remembrance. Love appears here not as absolute promise, but as the space where meaning briefly resists disappearance.
This volume can be read independently, but it gains additional depth as the culmination of a poetic arc in which the soul moves:
from timelessness,
through sacred encounter,
toward human continuity and shared remembrance.
The Summer of Our Immortality is a book for readers drawn to philosophical poetry, spiritual introspection, and the quiet intensity of language that listens more than it declares. It is a meditation on the beauty that mourns, the love that remains, and the fleeting summer in which we believe—perhaps only once—that we are immortal.
