Ireland.
In Ireland, as in Hungary, the number of poets per capita is higher than the world average, therefore some Irish poets, although well-known, have found their way but slowly to Hungary. Desmond Egan (b. 1936), one of Ireland's most translated poets, in this volume reaches Hungarian readers, after more than ten volumes of poetry published in Ireland and numerous books translated into German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese and other languages. Those few of his poems previously published in the journal of world literature, Nagyvilág (1997), have already acted as a brief introduction to his poetry.
