Bøger af Helen Hajnoczky

Flower and flour. Coral and choral. Lashes and luscious.Frost & Pollen is a poetry collection in two acts: "e;Bloom & Martyr"e; is a sensuous walk through a menacing garden of flowers and desire, while "e;Foliage"e; retells the Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight from the point of view of the Green Knight, the mysterious figure who teases and torments Gawain. By turns earthy and lush, and punctuated by dark and unsettling undercurrents, these poems converge into an engaging yet evasive feminine exploration of nature and sexuality.

The word "e;magyarzni"e; (pronounced MAUDE-yar-az-knee) means "e;to explain"e; in Hungarian, but translates literally as "e;make it Hungarian."e; This faux-Hungarian language primer, written in direct address, invites readers to experience what it's like to be "e;made Hungarian"e; by growing up with a parent who immigrated to North America as a refugee. In forty-five folk-art visual poems each paired with a written poem, Hajnoczky reveals the beauty and tension of first-generation cultural identity.Helen Hajnoczky's first book of poetry was Poets and Killers: A Life in Advertising (Snare, 2010). Her work has appeared in poetry anthologies, magazines, and chapbooks. She lives in Montreal, Quebec.
