Poem
you must appeal to the conscience of trees
their calm is the sign of confidence
that you’ve coveted for ages
even with a budding mind
Dedicated to Lawrence Ferlinghetti on the occasion of his acceptance and subsequent rejection of the 2012 Janus Pannonius Poetry Prize awarded by the Hungarian PEN Club.
A sweeping wind soaking everything / And drying its time-bandages on my back. / I’m undecided between dream and reality.
our Lord / if you are indeed / an invention of ours / and we are / creations of yours
Blue-bleached clouds are / grazing over the camp / servantwinds scrub / the night clean / time sits around
this snowfall smarts / I’m in it up to my neck / waiting for you / since this morning
Europe reporting / a point made in several languages / Louis the 16th likes to go bowling / Mozart is taking music lessons
Where’s the Window (Hol az az ablak)
who’s there for me to turn to
where’s the window
that will
let me see
a lot more
than anyone else

Words from my readers
A great novel!
Last time, on our way back from the Iron Gate and Krassó-Szörény in October, I received Zoltán's latest book, While I Think I Exist, at the Present House.
I read it with great interest, literally all the way through, I could hardly put it down.
Once again, I thank Zoltán and Jelen Publishers for this book. It was like reading a printed online story. A great novel!
With friendship,
Gábor
About Regal
A good novel offers endless possibilities for interpretation/reading. The Regal is such a novel. One of Kinga Lázár's quotes is particularly thought-provoking. "How would I behave in their place?" The question is asked by Tamás, the main character. Yes, it is worth approaching the characters from this point of view, and asking ourselves the question: How would I behave in their shoes?
The skin of nothing
The author handles the words, the Hungarian language and our cultural and literary literacy in a very beautiful, apt, surprising or even disconcerting way - all at the same time. (Moly.hu)
