Traian T. Coșovei (Romanian pronunciation: [traˈjan koʃoˈvej]; 28 November 1954 – 1 January 2014) was a Romanian poet. He was a member of the Writers' Union of Romania.
The son of writer Traian Coșovei and Maria Urdăreanu, he graduated from the Department of Romanian Language and Literature of the University of Bucharest in 1978.[1] He wrote a thesis on the Beat Generation.[2]
A so-called "80s Generation" writer,[3] he was a member of the "Monday Literary Circle" led by Nicolae Manolescu, and of the literary circle led by Ovid S. Crohmălniceanu.[4]
Coșovei's literary debut came in 1978 with the publication of a story in the magazine Literary Romania. The following year, he began editing the Romanian Paper. In 1980 he became a member of the Writers' Union of Romania. In 1996 he was appointed in the National Museum of Romanian Literature, Bucharest, a job he held until his death.[2]
Coșovei died on 1 January 2014, at the age of 59.[5]
