Book excerpt: Award-winning translator Peter Hargitai celebrates 100 years of Attila József (1905-1937) in this new selection of 100 poems. His previous selection, Perched On Nothing's Branch (1986), enjoyed a remarkable run of five editions and won for him the Academy of American Poets' Landon Translation Award. His translation of Attila József is listed among the world classics cited by Harold Bloom in The Western Canon. Praise for Peter Hargitai's translation of Attila József: "These grim, bitter, iron-cold poems emerge technically strong, spare and authentic in English, and they are admirably contemporary in syntax." --MAY SWENSON in Citation for the Academy of American Poets "A rich nuanced translation by Peter Hargitai. These poems are ageless, mirroring the human conditions and focusing in humankind's existential loneliness." --MAXINE KUMIN "I have long thought of Attila József as one of the great poets of the century, a tragic realist whose work beautifully redeemed the unbearable conditions of the life to which history condemned him. These new translations by Peter Hargitai will be welcomed by József's admirers and will certainly add to their number." --DONALD JUSTICE "[Other] translations of József's work are stiff and academic, whereas peter Hargitai's versions are colloquial and emotionally charged as the originals. Reading them one lapses into the silence that attends the reception of all great poetry." --DAVID KIRBY

Book excerpt: Regarded by many as Hungary's greatest 20th century poet, Jozsef was born in Budapest in 1905 and died, after apparently throwing himself under a train, in December of 1937. Writing in intense emotional tones that swung beetween despair and hope, Jozsef invigorated old poetic forms with a new freedom, orchestrating his poems with fresh rythmic patterns influenced by folk music's rythms as well as their metrics. But Jozsef was also influenced by Dadaist and other modernist ideas, finding a voice that would synthetise the older cultural forms with the newer experiments.

This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attila Jozsef is internationally acknowledged as an important poet of the first half of the 20th century, and has been widely translated from Hungarian into all major European languages, as well as Russian and Esperanto. No other Hungarian poet could identify with, and take on the cause of the downtrodden and destitute as he did. His depth of feeling and humaneness is nothing less than searing, emphatically crying out for justice and a fairer deal whereby the world can be put to right. "Suburban Night and Other Poems" is a new interpretation by Ivan Kovacs of Jozsef's verse into English. In Kovacs' own words "we need to agree on what is to be considered an ideal or good translation, which surely cannot be anything other than a poem that loses neither the intended meaning nor the emotional impact of the original. Another contributing factor for the successful translation of poetry is, of course, when the translator happens to be a poet in his or her own right. It is with the understanding of these factors that I undertook the translation of poems by Jozsef, and not just because Jozsef's poems are so near to my heart. For me they have such an abundance of "soul" that I could not help but be inspired to try and recreate them in English."

Book excerpt: In pure lyrics and longer elegiac poems this great Hungarian poet inscribed not only his own sad fate but that of millions in an Eastern Europe that only nominally "between the wars" during the '20s and 30s.
