Charles Fellinger

* Bratislava, 1963. Nov. 20. / newspaper editor, poet, local historian ; ; He finished his schooling in Jókán and Galántá, graduating there in 1981. His occupation is an agronomist. Between 1993 and 2002 he edited the quarterly magazine Jókai Szó – Jelèianske slovo. He carries out research and collection work on local history, ethnography and folk poetry. ; ; His first poem was published in Tábortűz in 1978. After that, he often publishes his poems in other Hungarian magazines, and more recently he has also written short stories. In 1983, he joined the Iródia movement, and is included in their representative anthology (Próbaút, 1986), but his poems can also be read in other anthologies (How to Fly?, 1986, Csodalámpás, 1988, Tűzpalota, 1990). In his poetry, he followed in the footsteps of modern masters (Pilinszky, V. Holan, etc.), creating impersonal, reflexive lyrics devoid of experience. He mostly dresses his poems in the motifs and symbols of Christian mythology, but his aphoristically concise reflections do not always have a convincing effect, they often lack substance. ; ; Works: Power outage, v., 1991, Still life with the dead, v., 1996, Wild pear trees reaching the sky, v., tales, 1997, Jóka landmarks, local history, 1997, Nests in the sky, v., 2004. ; ; Literature: Zsigmond Zalabai: Poetic history, 1995, Zoltán Szeberényi: Hungarian literature in Slovakia (1945–1999) II., Po. 2001. ;
