Popis
A moving, posthumous collection of elegies and eclogues that meditate on nature, landscape, and history, by a great Hungarian poet.
Szil rd Borb ly's is one of the most searching and powerful poetic voices to emerge in the twenty-first century. In a Bucolic Land was Borb ly's final work, completed but left unpublished at the time of his premature death in 2014. At the heart of the book are poems in which Borb ly returns to his 1960s childhood in a tiny impoverished town in northeastern Hungary. Conditions were brutal, as the poems attest, even as, shifting between present and past, they are also invested with a strange shimmering sense of myth and eternity. The book opens and closes with two elegies for Borb ly's teacher Lajos Szuromi in which the poet meditates on the nature of language and speech and on the adequacy of words to speak of and for the dead. Ottilie
