Attila József hat einige der schönsten Liebesgedichte nicht nur der ungarischen Dichtung geschrieben; doch gerade auch in diesen ist er nicht nur der Sänger seines eigenen Begehrens und seiner eigenen Verzweiflung - die Geliebten haben ihn meist nicht erhört oder seine unbedingte Hingabe nicht lange ertragen.
Auch Attila József selbst war sich durchaus bewusst, dass er zwar von ganz unten, aus dem Absud der ungarischen Gesellschaft kam, aber zum Sänger der ganzen Nation berufen war und sein Lied vom Rand her sang, aber mit ihm ans Herz der Epoche rührte.

The unsuccessful revolution of 1848-49 and the 1867 Compromise hindered literary creativity during the rest of the century.

 Hungarian Studies Review, 1999
Since the act of rendering a Hungarian poem into English in Canada, for example, is a cultural act, it is also an invitation to consider influences, and compare two separate though, we anticipate, complementary poems: the poem written in the original language, and the poem written in the language of the translator.
The source head is the translated poet, Attila József, born in 1905, died in 1937.
As Dalos and others have remarked, Duczynska was an internationalist in her heart and in her practice, and the translations of Attila József are just one example of her commitment to internationalism and its representation in a major Canadian collaborative translation project like The Plough and the Pen.
