Summary/Abstract: “Poetry seems to be the genre that left the twentieth century the most intact. Perhaps because it is so atavistic, it is so much the luxury of being, that it could not become the economical fuel of mass media, or the great happyness-factories.” Lajos Parti Nagy is a determining figure of the middle generation of contemporary Hungarian poetry, who has created an unmistakable poetical world by his virtuoso art of poetic form and his witty linguistic games. Jelenkor published a lengthy biographical interview on the poet’s fiftieth birthday.
