    About this ebook

    Károly’s poetry ranges from the sublime to the ordinary, from the general to the very personal and it is graced with European motifs and imagery: taste of the cosmos beyond the in between water. Poetry entrenched deeply in the European tradition with elements of surrealism, with meditative moods, these poems at sometimes engage the reader deeply and at other times they truly entertain.
