Az egyetlen lehetőség

A selection from a poet of few, dense poems, who keeps rearranging his work, expanding and paring down his books. His almost only subject is creation: conception and birth, the pleasure of existing and its longing to remake itself, in short, love, the heightened state in which a person senses a fullness beyond the personal and the threat of passing away dissolves. His earlier poems strip away almost all biography; the newer ones turn intimate and personal and look back rather than forward, as they reach deeper into the bodily and mental experience of decay.
