The 12th International Poetry Festival was held on Gulangyu Island in China from April 26 to 28.
The event does not rival the International Poetry Festival held every December in Shanghai, but the organizers said that is not their goal. What matters is not competition, but rather that an increasing number of foreign and domestic poets participate, and that a dialogue emerges among the invitees that brings together multilingual authors.
Historical Trauma, Intimacy, and Metapoetics in Zoltán Böszörményi’s Ripped Apart
Interview with Zoltán Böszörményi by Jozsef Hevesi Monár, Nyugati Jelen.
Zoltán Böszörményi arrived in Toronto with no profession and no language skills, and only $25 in his pocket. After a few years of university, he was running his own company, but his first million dollars were not earned overseas. He came home and, as he says, he just had to bend down, the opportunity was at his feet. Today he lives the luxury life of the chosen few. A panoramic apartment in Monte Carlo, expensive cars and glitz. Yet it is not luxury that drives him, but rather his love of Hungarian literature, and he is extremely proud of his poetry books and his recently published novel.

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)
