I was born in Buda in 1962.
\nI graduated from the Faculty of Humanities in Pest, then I taught in various institutions, and in between these episodes I have been working as a regular breadwinner at the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences for more than twenty years.I have not written criticism and essays for a long time (what the future will bring, what it might prompt me to do, is another chapter), so I have only poems and (from German) literary translations.
\nI have neither a definition nor a recipe for poetry – nowadays this is more and more a deficiency, if not a disability – and perhaps it is an ode to this that I don’t write much, but I think it is thanks to this (my curiosity, the poem-by-poem [relat\u00edv] tabula rasa) that I (still) write poems at all, and occasionally compile volumes. Of the latter, I have published 6+1 so far (including a Hungarian-German bilingual and a selection in Bulgarian translation); the most recent at the moment: Haalaadaas (2021, Kalligram).
\nI was awarded the Attila J\u00f3zsef Prize in 2010 and the Salvatore Quasimodo Memorial Prize in 2012.
