Reading


His Majesty, the reader,

placed valued books on the time shelves

Books, magazines, online pages

They are the writer's direct bridge to the reader.

His Majesty, the reader,

placed these values on the time shelves.

(Maria TONU)


I have participated in hundreds of events 

and have read my poetry, prose, and quotes with great love. 

The podium from which I have read was a radio or television studio; 

it was a concert, a cenacle meeting, a visit to a school, or other institutions 

where I have gone with great love. 

The photos on this page are social documents that confirm 

my work as a writer and my work as a citizen and patriot for world cultural values.


In Măcărești, 2004, 
my mother Teodora received flowers from my pen pal, 
the writer and doctor Ion Cuzuioc.

Writers and diplomats sit at a table and discuss different topics,

 but with one goal: peace and harmony! Montreal, November 8, 2008
































































                        Books don't burn; books don't get thrown away

Manuscripts, if they are not published, are not called books.

The manuscript is dough; the book is bread.

Between dough and bread is a complex process.

(Maria TONU)

In Canada, there is a beautiful practice regarding books: people build mini-libraries and place them near the sidewalk in front of their houses. Those who wish can take books to read or supplement the mini-library with new books.

Canada's public libraries are true Temples of Light. Spacious and equipped with technology, they offer various services, including the ability to print your own book. There are also mini-printers, and monthly, libraries offer readers free books for their personal collections. Books are packaged by genre. You get a package with your favourite books and enjoy them in the bosom of the family.

Nice experience:

books don't burn,

books don't get thrown away!

At the meeting with readers, the writer reads his work. 

How welcome are poets, writers, humourists, musicians, actors, and painters in kindergartens, schools, universities, cultural centres, children's and elderly homes, and hospitals? 

How often do these people come out?

I DO!!!
