A room for slow reading.

A personal collection of poetry and prose, in Romanian and English. Built around the rhythm of the page, not the algorithm. The work begins here — it has always begun here.

◆ ABOUT

I write first.

I'm Alex-George Adam — a poet and writer, working in Romanian and English, from Bucharest.

Poetry was the first thing I did, and it remains the first thing I do. The page is where the work begins. Te-a iubit, oare, pisica? is my 2026 volume — five acts, five seasons, narrated by a cat. There is an original soundtrack composed for each act. The volume is multimedia by intention, slow by design.

Alongside the writing, I build The Listening Room — a small lab of free social intelligence tools. That work is real and ongoing, and it teaches me things about language that the page alone could not. But the order matters: poet first, builder second.

I work day-to-day in marketing, where I've spent time at Microsoft, IBM, and currently Samsung Romania. The day job and the writing have always run in parallel. I publish notes and essays on Substack (The Social Poet) when something needs a longer breath.
