Description
This selection has been made by George Szirtes himself from all seven of his published poetry books, several of which are now unavailable. It includes his major sequences, The Photographer in Winter, Metro, and a slightly revised Transylvana. George Szirtes has built up a reputation not only as an energetic and generous translator from Hungarian, but first and foremost as a brilliant and austere poet in his own right. He wields English with the particular skill, strangeness, and originality of one who, as it were, mediates between the tone of his forebears and the voice he has acquired since childhood, when his family moved to England at the time of the Hungarian uprising.
