Németh Attila - Hajnali madár

The title of the volume naturally, in its naturalness, brings into play the primary associations of the words of the animal and the time of day, the songbird, the early morning birdsong, but the birds of the individual poems do not appear in their natural environment, they carry within them the alienation, the strangeness, its peculiar along with its perspective - the title poem, the Dawn Bird, is precisely the lyrical self's desperate (and perhaps unsuccessful) attempt at self-identification.
Instead of the freedom of the birds and the limitlessness of the sky, this is the set of experiences that defines the lyrical self, in which a certain kind of convinced idealism emerges behind the micro-worlds with an ominous atmosphere, recreated in each poem. As tangible as the physical environment becomes, at least as powerful are these underlying impressions, which are often only indicated by a single word. The texts deliberately do not attempt to create a more nuanced atmosphere than this, their main tool is increased compression almost to the extreme.
Attila Németh's book of poems offers many layers of interpretation, from a contemporary alternative to the traditional folk lyric to the meaning of the role and existence of the lyrical self.
