Adrian George Sahlean. Born in Romania, and naturalized in the U.S., Adrian George Sahlean holds Master's Degrees in English and Spanish philology (Bucharest, 1975), psychoanalysis (Boston, 1995), and is a certified clinical psychoanalyst (2002). He authored several volumes of translations into English (poetry, short stories, memoirs and plays) and a book of essays on literary translation (in Romanian.) His meter-and-rhyme renditions of 19th c. Romanian ‘national’ poet Mihai Eminescu (UNESCO Year-2000-Poet-Of-The-Year) brought him international recognition and were awarded the 'Eminescu Gold Medal’ (2000) and the ‘LiterArt XXI’ Grand Prize of the Int. Assoc. of Romanian Writers and Artists (2002). In 2002, the Romanian Cultural Foundation sponsored a CD featuring Prince Radu von Hohenzollern-Veringen reading Mr. Sahlean's translation of Luceafarul (‘The Legend of the Evening Star’) with an orchestral setting of George Enescu’s ‘Poema Romana’. In 2005, 'The Evening Star' was performed off-Broadway as a theatrical-choreographic production (also re-staged in 2008); in 2006, his Eminescu translations were published as a double CD & book project - 'Eminescu-Eternal Longing, Impossible Love' - narrated by Jeremy Geidt of the American Repertory Theatre. Mr. Sahlean is the co-founder (2004) and president of Global Arts Inc. (www.globalartsnpo.org), a non-profit organization actively promoting Romanian literature, music and art to the US. He is a member of the Romanian Writer's Union, American Literary Translators Association, American Romanian Academy, and Society of Modern Psychoanalysts. He lives outside Boston, MA.
