KULTÚRÁLIS DÉLUTÁN / CULTURAL AFTERNOON 2024

Attila Jozsef: By the Danube (excerpt)

"The battle which our ancestors once fought
Through recollection is resolved in peace,
And settling at long last the price of thought,
This is our task, and none too short its lease."

Since 1964, we have celebrated Hungarian Poetry Day on April 11th, the birthday of Attila József. On this occasion, cultural institutions and groups nationwide and in the diaspora organize various scholarly events and literary readings, both to commemorate the greats of Hungarian poetry and to provide opportunities for contemporary literature. Indeed, poetry has the power to condense emotions and concepts into a single word, thus reshaping our vision, hearing, feelings, understanding, speech, and even our reading habits.

We cordially invite and welcome everyone
to the cultural afternoon organized for
the occasion of HUNGARIAN POETRY DAY!

April 13, 2024, Saturday afternoon from 2:00 PM
9280 Central Ave, Orangevale, CA 95662
(Mt. Zion Hungarian Christian Church)

Admission: 0-10 years free | ages 11-99 $5

The program will include our national anthems, Hungarian poems and set-to-music verses, an introduction to a local Hungarian writer, a book presentation, and friendly conversations over tea, coffee, and delicious morsels in
the latter part of the event.
