Tunnels In The Snow
ARPAD FARKAS
Translated from Hungarian by Paul Sohar
Tunnels In The Snow, by ARPAD FARKAS and translated by Paul Sohar from Hungarian, brings Hungarian-language poetry from Hungary into English through snow, passage, and Árpád Farkas's feeling for endurance under wintered conditions. The metadata gives the reader a doorway, but the real value is what happens once the poem starts making its own weather. I would read it for snow, tunnels, endurance, and the bodily labor of moving through blocked weather, not as a fixed lesson about Hungary. The best entry point is still the poem itself: the line that catches, the image that refuses to explain itself, the feeling that arrives before paraphrase. Tunnels In The Snow belongs in the translated poetry library because it gives Hungarian poetry a cold, regional, and persevering lyric texture.
