Publisher's Synopsis
Forty poems and one essay by the left-wing schizophrenic Hungarian poet who committed suicide by throwing himself under a train.
"I have long thought of Attila Jozsef as one of the great poets of the century-a tragic realist whose work beautifully redeemed the unbearable conditions of the life to which history condemned him. These new translations will be welcomed."-Donald Justice
