Gábor Tompa directs world plays - beautiful performances of world theater. And Gábor Tompa organizes his poems into books right from the beginning, since he is independent in the midst of addictions, free in other, more solitary forms of artistic creation. Because even on the revolving stage of poetry, there is only one, and yet so many different visions of the world, worldless worlds: separate pieces of poetry, words, monologues, shaped images, replicas, situations, sounds, emphatic silences, silences, lights, counterlights, unexpected illuminations. Deadly frivolous and bitterly serious, tragicomic games spin heavenly and earthly visions into rhyme, the Kayan sacraments of many devotions - scandalously absurd and grotesque races, respectfully and disrespectfully turned symbols, faint sighs, supplications and laughter from the surrealist twilight. Both shamefully and shamelessly, the poems in this book live separate lives: snapshots and apparitions alternate, stations and provocations, paraphrases and variations, questions about a world that can be presented in many ways. "There is no good reason for invisibility." If you have eyes, see, if you have ears, hear what an opening book can say... "Unconditionally and conditionally."
