false 808191 1 "...a truly great poet, one in whom the lyrical image-maker and the critical human intelligence dealing with the tragic twentieth century are utterly fused, as they so rarely are . . . The quality of the translation is such that it is hard to remember the poems were not first written in English, even though one is always aware of Radnoti's vision as European and of his locus as Hungary."--Denise Levertov<br><br>The Hungarian Jewish poet Miklos Radnoti (1909-1944) was also a prolific translator and editor who wrote some of his greatest poems in the labor camps and copper mines of Yugoslavia before being killed by the Nazis. Leaving behind a body of work that ranks with the classics of Hungarian verse, his influence is now being felt among a younger generation. In 1946, Radnoti's body was exhumed from a mass grave by his wife who found a notebook of his poems (many of which were addressed to her) in his coat pocket. 794132 1 8 2003 Clouded Sky total:16|5:10|4:5|3:1| 16 73 24 6 5 0 false false Sat Jan 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 17:42:56 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 17:59:16 -0800 2009 Clouded Sky might be called Poetry of Witness, but it's never, ever preachy-- j...more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Oct 06 04:16:01 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 07:29:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Mon May 07 14:30:49 -0700 2007 Mon May 07 14:30:49 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Feb 04 19:48:15 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 04 19:48:15 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Apr 22 14:05:26 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 14:06:31 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Sep 05 20:55:08 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 05 21:02:56 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 03:22:07 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 03:22:07 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 19:35:40 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 19:35:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 07 10:57:07 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 10:57:07 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Apr 08 13:40:12 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 13:40:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 07 08:42:44 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 08:42:44 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Mar 16 13:16:20 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 13:16:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jan 09 06:47:32 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 06:47:32 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 27 03:59:31 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 27 03:59:34 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Oct 22 19:48:27 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 19:48:27 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Sep 26 18:53:26 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 08:05:35 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 18:53:26 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Aug 12 23:42:17 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 23:42:17 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jul 10 03:36:32 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 03:36:32 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jan 12 09:28:20 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 12 09:28:20 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Dec 14 06:59:49 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 14 06:59:49 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=808191
