Rita PETRO
BIOGRAPHY
Rita Petro (b. 1962), also known as Rita Filipi, was born
in Tirana and studied Albanian language and literature at the
University there from 1980-1984. She thereafter worked in the
publishing industry in Tirana. In 1993 she did post-graduate
studies at the University of Athens.
Petro's verse, some of which was daringly erotic for post-Stalinist
Albania, has appeared in three collections (published under her
former married name Filipi): Vargje të përfolura
(Defamed Verse), Tirana 1994; Shija e instinktit (The
Taste of Instinct), Tirana 1998, and Këtu poshtë
këndohet live (They're Singing Live Down Here), Tirana
2002. |
