FORA.tv Speaker - Oana Sanziana Marian

Oana Sanziana Marian and her mother moved to America when she was 8, one year before the Revolution, which they watched on TV. She attended Westover High School, a private all-girls' school. She went to Yale University to study studio art, but defected to the English major, graduating in December of 2002. She spent time abroad in Romania, Ireland and Brazil, looking for the poppies of her far-off childhood, bards and Elizabeth Bishop's dear ghost. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
