Endre Farkas goes full circle in this collection of poetry. He writes about making love, an ultra sound, death, and everything in between. His lyrical language and his tone, at times playful and at times sombre, make his sixth collection one that you'll be thinking about long after you've put it down.

The Other Language is a look at English poetry in Montreal, beginning with the first moderns?F.R. Scott, A.J.M. Smith, and A.M. Klein?and ending with poets who published their first book in the seventies. This collection provides the reader with an introduction to the rich and diverse body of work written by Montreal poets in this century. Montreal is the centre of two diverse cultures that exist in a perpetual state of dynamism and tension, and these poets all reflect this dialogue.

Surviving Words is Endre Farkas' seventh book of poetry and his most powerful and accomplished to date. It is a collection of singular yet interwoven poems that, with haunting simplicity, evokes the horrors we inflict upon each other. The book begins with his parents' experiences in Auschwitz and Mauthausen, moves on to deal with his childhood memories of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, and concludes with poems about the ongoing acts of genocide. The poems in Surviving Words are striking for their imagery and tone. With subtle irony, they remind us that "nothing is forgotten/nothing is ever forgotten."

"The horrifying actuality that is the Holocaust sits like an immovable altar to evil in the middle of the twentieth century. Fifty years later, Endre Farkas, child of Holocaust survivors, revisits its terrors through the stories of his parents and through his own journeys. His parents, who both survived concentration camps only to confront renewed xenophobia a dozen years later during the Hungarian revolution, were forced to escape with their young son to Canada. The book is a personal journey of sorts?a journey to recover, if not innocence, perhaps lost hope."?Canadian Literature
