Csonka nap avagy a szinekdochék rombolásáról : Kemény István: Egy nap élet

Abstract

The paper examines István Kemény's poem One Day Life (1996). This work is central to the summons of personal experience and the mastery of breakdown initiated from above. A partial review of the poetics of error is followed by unfolding the main problem: how Kemény's poem is getting marred. In the context of Baka and Petri, it will be clear that around the turn of the millennium the creation of a lifetime synecdoche has become poetically impossible.
