Mother Tongue : A Broken Hungarian Love Song

Rating:
Summary: Mother Tongue - Peter Hargitai
Review: What a unique collection of poems all in one book. It is full of raw and powerful emotions which Peter Hargitai is not afraid to express. His emotions are true and deep. The poems range from deep and powerful to funny and romantic. By far this is one of the best collections of poems that I have come across by a single poet. It tells the story about the relationship with his mother that he never had and from his childhood in Hungary to his life as an adult in modern day America and in between. It is an essential book, especially if you read Attila: A Barbarian Love Story, which I also highly recommend. It's full of raw and powerful poetry that make is even more fascinating.
