It is central to her own belief that it is her duty to empower, motivate, inspire, educate and heal. The awakening of the latent gifts we all perhaps unknowingly possess is also central to her quest.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn an astute and complex combination of art forms, Anca enhances the essence of poetry, bringing it to another level, creating a higher, more aesthetic literary culture where creativity and logic abide in harmony. This, she succeeds in doing through the symphonic audio-visualizations which have become her distinctive trademark, where visual is visionary, mystical weds mathematical, and lyrical flirts with musical.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n Although Anca rebelled against formal education as a child, she could not rebel against the artist that was burgeoning within. From an early age she was able to intuitively perceive transformation in all things, and thus she started to nurture an impulsive desire to be somehow part of this transformation. Later, this urge would lead to her pursuing a rigorous program of independent study which would include literature, philosophy, art, and history.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nIt is her belief that through ART she can transform and enhance human consciousness.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAnca seeks to  restore poetry to public culture by engaging the imagination of her \u2018reader-listeners\u2019 in a way that encourages them to use critical analysis of the experiential, performative, and creative vectors which run through her visual poetry.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nShe endeavors to enrich human consciousness or, at the very least, protect intrinsic values from depredation. Where art would at times seem to create opposition to the natural forces of time and morality, Anca helps us make sense of, even come to terms with the oblivion stretching before us.<\/em><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n( by  James Cairns, Anca&#8217;s co-editor, literary advocate ad translator of her poems)<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PoetryLifeTimes\">www.facebook.com\/PoetryLifeTimes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Artvilla.com\">www.facebook.com\/Artvilla.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artvilla.com\/\">robin@artvilla.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artvilla.com\/\">editor@artvilla.com<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/14752100.Robin_Ouzman_Hislop\"> goodreads.com\/author\/show\/Robin Ouzman Hislop<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aquillrelle.com\/authorrobin.htm\">http:\/\/www.aquillrelle.com\/authorrobin.htm<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Babble-Souk-Robin-Ouzman-Hislop\/dp\/1329636953\/\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com.
