American poet Peter Hargitai recalls his formative years in Balástya (1952-1956) through the sensitive eyes of a child. His response to poverty, dislocation, political upheaval, and at times feelings of abandonment,
is a finely textured sequence of narrative poems that are true, heart-wrenching, inventive, irascible and comical, and richly anointed by a child's imagination.
