Carpe diem, says Huba Búzás two thousand years after Horatius. But now in a book of poems the profane exhilaration of the exhortation is unfolding to stir up the cultural creature who is nowadays a devotee of a custom that is considered ancient, a cultural creature who can cultivate himself by reading poetry. The more familiar meaning of this strange call is: Live for today, but if we stick to its literal translation - Cut the sun down - then we are already at the new book by Huba Búzás.

In The Dead Poets' Society, a film (? book) that goes far beyond the Hollywood ethos, a miraculous message from the past is spread across the screen (pages) and then into the soul of the recipient: carpe diem!

A joy and serenity of life, the lyrical and elaborate expressions of which can be found in the poems of the book. And for anyone who knows anything about the joy of life, it must be an important source of experience of love or rather eroticism. Huba Búzás is such a poet, as we can see from the first volumes of Coffee Fragrance and the volumes of Staring at the Sun, which are praised here.
