Petrőczi Éva - Mint a gyerekkor

Mint a gyerekkor, meaning "Like Childhood", is the thirteenth independent poetry collection by Éva Petrőczi, a Hungarian poet and winner of the József Attila Prize. The book gathers poems written over the previous half year that have not appeared in any earlier volume. Its themes span the fifteen years of the new millennium as the author lived them, covering joys and sorrows, human losses and gains.

The collection traces the inner emotional landscape of the poet, the struggles that come with aging over the years, and the joys brought by her grandchildren. It also recalls the example of ancestors and forebears and the poet's reactions to contemporaries.

The geographical range is wide, from Pécs and Baranya, the poet's home region, to Ferencváros, Balatonfüred and other European places. This 96-page hardcover edition was published by Pro Pannonia Kiadói Alapítvány.
