Language and Literature paper by Kulin, Borbála
The Borders of Identity in the Poetry of László Kürti
Type of Abstract (select):Abstract (max. 250 words):
The edition of László Kürti’s latest poems (Masses of the Body, 2012) shows that the new language of his philosophical poetry sruggles to find the borders of the always-changing self. In my paper I study the experimental borders of the identity through his poems, that are sought in sexuality, in family relations and in the relation to the transcendent.
