Agatha Bacovia

Agatha Bacovia (born Agatha Grigorescu; March 8, 1895 – October 12, 1981) was a Romanian poet.

Biography Born in Mizil, her parents were Șerban Grigorescu and his wife Maria (née Anastasiu).

She attended the literature and philosophy faculty of the University of Bucharest, graduating in 1927. Her first published work appeared in Scena magazine in 1918; her first poetry book was the 1923 Armonii crepusculare. She contributed to Viața nouă, Revista scriitoarelor și scriitorilor români, Orizonturi noi, Ateneu, Steaua and România Literară, sometimes signing as Agatha Gr. and Agata Grozea. Her verses were delicately symbolist, of a temperate tonality of her husband's manner.
