Ștefan Petică
Romanian poet and journalist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ștefan Petică (Romanian pronunciation: [ʃteˈfan ˈpetikə]; January 20, 1877 – October 17, 1904) was a Romanian Symbolist poet, prose writer, playwright, journalist, and socialist activist. Born in the countryside of Tecuci, he displayed a voracious appetite for literature and philosophy since his early years. After high school, he made his way to the national capital Bucharest, where university studies soon gave way to low-paid newspaper work. Petică published one volume of poetry before his premature death, and left his mark as one of the first exponents of the domestic Symbolist movement.
