A Monologue on the Shores of the River of Life is a collection of thoughts by Romanian-American author, Alexandra Roceric. They spring from simple musings — ones not easily classified thematically. They make no pretensions at being ultimate truth. It is even difficult to categorize them as aphorisms, proverbs, or maxims. They might not even qualify as good advice in the classical sense! Simply put, they are propositions and questions; they are never spoken in jest.
After my husbands passing, thoughts were whirling around in the vacuum created by his absence. Yes, my sounding board was gone, but slowly some of these thoughts began to voice themselves. What had once been dynamic dialogue morphed into a powerful monologue. Now in print, this Monologue just might elicit a response from some and even stimulate others.

Alexandra Roceric, Ph.D. is a Romanian-American philologist, who was educated and earned her Ph D at the University of Bucharest, Romania. She was teaching/doing research at the Universities of Besançon (France), Prague (Czech Republic), Copenhague (Denmark), Lund (Sweden), Padova (Italy), and Stanford (USA).
Dr. Roceric emigrated to the United States in 1975, where she continued her scholarly work at the Catholic University of America (where she also earned a Master in Library and Information Science), Center for Applied Linguistics, and the Language Research Center, as well as at the Library of Congress, all in Washington DC.
She has authored six books in Linguistics (some in collaboration), and three volumes of poetry (bilingual editions). Her papers are included in volumes published in Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Romania, and United States of America. Alexandra Roceric has extensively travelled in five continents. She has studied music (piano) – privately and in the Art School (Bucharest). And she volunteers in the medical support field (started in the Emergency Hospital in Bucharest, and then in a Free Clinic and currently in the Washington Home & Community Hospice of Washington DC).
