Description
In a powerful sequence of poems from Eastern Europe, Karoly Fellinger expresses in raw organic language accompanied with penetrating insight, the decay of culture and the resurection of the human spirit. .In language both sublime and earthy, there is a cosmological awareness that arises out of the mundane, an extraordinary moment expressed amidst the ordinary. In the lyric profusion of these newly translated poemscan be heard the sharp blasts of a mordant intellect, but not without the human notes of an infinite melancholy playing in the background. Karoly Fellinger’s work reveals a layered imagination that apprehends and measures our tarnished world in demotic language restores simplicty and bewilderment to our existence. Surreal, metaphysical, impressionistic and meditative, these poems are the product of a wandering,restless and moral mind, rendered with clarity and vividness in translation.
