Madárlátta jambusok. Tandori Dezső verssé vált madarairól
Rhythms of Birdlife

Summary/Abstract: Dezső Tandori, one of the most important contemporary Hungarian poets, is well-known for his obsession with small birds – sparrows but also other species –, living with them in his apartment and also documenting their lives in volumes of poetry and prose. As a monographer of Tandori’s poetry László Bedecs offers a synthetic approach to bird presence in Tandori’s oeuvre, identifying recurring patterns and analogies that govern the representation of birds in decades of Tandori’s works. The most relevant of these analogies is the resemblance of Tandori’s birds who have their own names to small children requiring parenting and caretaking activities.
