Translation (2009); Dream (2007); Still Life—for Carmen Racovitza (2012) [latter from Addenda].
My inclinations have always directed me towards the (actual, ever-changing) limits of verbal communication. But I don't distrust/need/enjoy words more or less than the empty spaces between them, the sheet of paper they are written on, the rhythm of the turning of the pages, unknown and forgotten symbols, fragments, natural formations like clouds—each of them and any combination of them may be an invitation. When I feel easy and ready to make something, I experience their complete equivalence.
Márton Koppány (b. 1953) lives in Budapest, Hungary. He started writing "visual" poetry at the end of the seventies and since then his work has been widely published and exhibited.
