Influenced by the great Hungarian poet Attila József's obsession with the eternal mother as a metaphor for all human longing, Hargitai probes the nature of spiritual exile on terms that are neither Freudian nor Jungian, American, or Hungarian, but on terms that are uniquely personal and movingly human.\u003c\/p\u003e Praise for Peter Hargitai's \u003cb\u003eMother Tongue: A Broken-Hungarian Love Song: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"If traditional confessional poetry, now considered classical, had its halcyon days in the work of Roethke, Lowell, and Plath, it can be said to have reached a new, ethnically charged peak in the work of Peter Hargitai.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePembroke Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Peter Hargitai is a remarkable versatile and humanely touching poet with a truly distinctive style and voice.
