The Desert of Love jellemzők

János Pilinszky was a unique and compelling voice among the generation of European poets whose work bore first-hand witness to the horrors of war. This distiction of his poetry, as Ted Hughes argues, is both spiritual and artistic: 'the desolation of (his) vision is equalled by its radiance'. The dept and power of Pilinszky poetry are forcefully recreated in these memorable versions by János Csokits and Ted Hughes.
The Desert of Love is a revised edition of their earlier selection of his magnetic, intense and haunting poems. The added memoir by Pclose friend and associate Ágnes Nemes NAgy gives a major living Hungarian poet's view of his achievement.
