Poetry

"Niculina Oprea belongs certainly, to a permanent expressionism, resurgence of the best quality. She has affinities with the stylistic limpidity and with the hermetic expressiveness of Paul Celan’s lyric, in the parentage of whose she could enroll", says literary critic and poet Paul Aretzu.''Critical Visions'', 2005

As of 2011, Oprea was working on another book, ''Between Reality and Visionary, Aspects of the Contemporary Poetry''.
