Pénteken vasárnap

The poet wrote this book over seven years, yet it is about the moment: the one that cannot be avoided but seems to last forever, and the one that flashes and vanishes however hard you hold on. Between longer free-verse poems he began writing twelve-line pieces, one of them on the first anniversary of the destruction of the Twin Towers. Nearing seventy, he increasingly felt as if Sunday came on Friday, and the poems ask what can be done when the body signals that you are no longer here and not yet there.
