His most recent volume, Roncs szélárnyékban (A Wreck in the Shade of the Wind), was published by Jelenkor Kiadó. These professional/biographical facts do not tell you, however, that we are talking about two of the best-known and most popular poets from the generation born in the 1980s, with followers and sales in the tens of thousands. They are bona fide stars who have played a vital role in making the reading of poetry trendy again amongst young people. They assure us that they have a decidedly decent evening lined up. Full of bravery and strength. Everything else will be revealed on the night. We have no reason to doubt their words.
