Several poems written after Communism collapsed cast a cold eye on the state of a free Hungary. Imbued with deft surrealistic strokes, Csosri creates a stunningly symbolic and visionary voice that is unique in contemporary world poetry. Sandor Csosri, one of Hungary's most prominent and outspoken poets, is the author of 16 books of poetry, six books of essays, two novels, and several film scripts. Len Roberts is the translator of two chapbooks and one previous full length volume of Sandor Csosri's poetry, as well as eight books of his own poetry. |

Several of the poems written after 1989, the year Communism collapsed in Hungary, cast a cold eye on the state of Hungary as a free nation. Sandor Csoori, one of Hungary's most prominent and outspoken poets, is the author of sixteen books of poetry, six books of essays, two novels, and several film scripts. |
