(IN)VENTING BEING… In the beginning was the Word is Ferenc Mózsi’s poetic credo. For him a poem’s real drama is its birth. The poem writes itself. Inventing Being, inspired by creative imagery, word combinations and plays, bears witness to the richness of the Hungarian language and its poetic power to nourish the human spirits.” PÉTER KASLIK As always, the poems of Ferenc Mózsi are rich and resonating chips of love and pain. They flare like nimble suns within the restless shadows of our lives, then glow across the gray uncertainty we share, each a small gathering of light and heat to kindle love among the pain…He is a master of the sinews of the heart, a warrior against the hungry night that so insatiably tries to ingest us all.” JUD BLAKELY In this collection of poems Mózsi snatches special moments and makes them into monuments, rediscovering the existing beauty in ourselves and in the world around us.” JÓZSEF GARAI Former Editor, Hungarian Word As a writer who is at home in both Hungarian and English, I’m aware of the challenges facing a translator to bring a poem home.
