Apocrypha

”If there is a lot of light, we close our eyes. There is a lot of light. We can’t turn a blind eye.“ The settled rhyme poetry of Sándor Halmosi is getting more and more angular, splinters occur at the most unexpected places, or elsewhere, the pulsating body of the poem is breaking and cracking. It is enough for us to touch it, and we immediately sense our own „patchwork-life”. This comes in handy when it hurts. There isn’t a single poem in which we cannot find a vacancy that belongs to us, the readers. A sophisticated modern and nearspiritual sensation of the world, a distinct Halmosibrand. Precise poetry, reliably measuring angelic density.
