| Summary: | Anna Terék is one of the most interesting Hungarian poets of
the young generation. The study is focused on Terék’s third poetry book,
Halott nők (Dead Women) (2017). The book is a poetry cycle that shows
stories/voices of five women. Violence, physical as well as psychological
and symbolic, becomes destructive to the identity of the individual but also
to the identity of the community. At the same time, it demands an effort
of expression. The paper analyses these issues. The study describes the
speech / narrative forms and their functions, and it examines the system of
metaphors and the specific poetic language. The poems are closely related
to the Yugoslav Wars. The study refers to this historical background but also
shows the poems’ universal dimension, which makes it possible to speak
about them in terms of the life stories of today. |
