A Wiser, More Beautiful Death

Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Hungarian by Solomon Rino. In Abda, Hungary, a mass grave was exhumed in 1946 and the corpse of Hungarian poet Mikl籀s Radn籀ti was found. In his raincoat pocket was a notebook containing his final ten poems. Written not in memory, but in the labor camp and on the proceeding forced march, the Bor Notebook was to become an invaluable Shoah document.
