Songs of God and Pleasure
The exploration of a woman's internal universe within a universe abandoned by God.
Teodora Mişcov
I write about the exquisite mess of life,
which I call the 'Dark Exotica.'

Cheap Hotel Philosophy
An exercise in making the incoherent coherent through rhyme.
Teodora Miscov is a Romanian writer who now lives and writes in Bali. A lifelong fascination with psychology draws her writing toward the darker side of the human psyche. She's published two poetry collections, “Songs of God and Pleasure” and “Cheap Hotel Philosophy,” both of which blur the line between the sacred and the profane with rubbing alcohol, shaky hands, and occasionally even rhyme.
Trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and the psychology of persuasion, she leans on that knowledge in her own writing and performance. She publishes on her Substack, “Dark Exotica,” and her poems and stories have appeared in literary magazines and art projects across the US, Romania, and Bali. She's a member of Asia Pacific Writers & Translators (APWT).
