Rich emotionality and postmodern language games. The heart as the center of feelings and the heart as an organ. Break up figuratively and literally. Linguistic precision and random linguistic experimentation seem necessary. The greats of the lyrical tradition and the advertising windows that pop up on the computer screen. Balázs Mesterházy's poetry veers between such dichotomies. And while Dostoyevsky, Rilke, Tandori or Parti Nagy are evoked, the shy protagonist is still the speaker of the poems, who talks about loss, barely knowing how to walk, madness, death, while noticing a piece of the sky. Blue. It's not completely dark yet, and maybe that's not enough. (Balázs Görföl)
