Iron-Blue Vault Selected Poems

Meer over het boek

Attila Jozsef's extraordinary poetry is exhilarating in its power and transcends the scars of a difficult life. He is a genuinely revolutionary poet, neither simple-minded nor difficult, though his thought and imagery are complex. A deeply divided man, his poetry has a robust physicality as well as a jaunty and heroic intelligence-which is Marxist in its dedication but fueled in its audacity by both Freud and Surrealism. This new collection of his poetry includes two lengthy essays by the translators on his life and his art of poetry.
