Summary

"Csoori, Hungary's premiere postwar poet, works in the tradition of Fate-literature . According to Roberts's introduction to this thoughtful collection, this tradition summons native poets as conscientious spokespersons of turmoil, specifically of the Hungarian plight. This book culls Csoori's poems in reverse chronological order, offering three sections: 1982 to present, 1973 to 1982, and 1962 to 1973." From Amazon.
