László Patka Széki60 Poems

The volume planned for the author's sixtieth birthday has become a selection of poems left behind. Instead of a backbone of a career, of works that sought balance and created equilibrium, what was left was a succession of carefully dated poems, barely a booklet, imbued with anxiety, hope, irony, external and internal anguish.

László Széki Patka "waking the idle summer" left his words of fear for man, of worry for the world and the future. In the last months of his life these were filled with hot or coldly phosphorescent shivers, and although he may have been aware that he was writing his razgledicica, even in the narrowness of his individual journey, the community, the common language, the experiences, the moods still resound in his characteristic voice.
