Hailing from a small ethnic Hungarian village in Transylvania, Sándor Kányádi (1929-2018) lived his life in Romania where through his work as a writer, translator, and editor he endeavored to keep his language and culture alive amid an often hostile environment. There was probably no Hungarian town or village of any size in the whole Carpathian Basin that Kányádi had not visited to recite in schools and libraries not only his owns poems but also the Hungarian classics (and always from memory). Like all great poets his work encompasses many styles and forms, often incorporating elements of folk songs and popular myth. A recipient of many literature awards in Europe, including the top prizes in Romania and Hungary both, this is the first comprehensive volume of his poetry to be published in English.

Kanyadi, Sandor: - "Sándor Kányádi was born in 1929 in the small Transylvanian village of Galambfalva to a family of farmers. Since 1950 he lived in Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca) Romania. A graduate in Hungarian philology from Bólyai University, he served as editor on a number of Hungarian-language journals and magazines. Since his first book of poetry appeared in 1955 he published over a dozen volumes. His translation work included both Saxon folk poetry and Yiddish folk poetry from Transylvania - in bilingual volumes - as well as contemporary Romanian poets and the major German and French poets of the 19th and 20th centuries. His was the recipient of the Poetry Prize of the Romanian Writers' Union and the Kossuth Prize in Hungary, the preeminent literary awards of their respective countries, the Austrian Herder Prize, and the Central European Time Millennium Prize (2000). Kányádi passed in June 2018 - an obituary by translator Paul Sohar is here."
