Random Walk gathers modern Hungarian verse translated by Peter V. Czipott and the late John Ridland, and edited by Johanna Domokos. Its title, borrowed from Czipott's earlier life as a physicist, names the chance-driven path by which the poems were found, through encounters, commissions and recommendations rather than any canonising scheme. Spanning the twentieth century into the present, it sets established figures beside lesser-translated contemporaries, moving through the rupture of Trianon, the 1956 revolt, imprisonment and exile, the Hungarian language itself, and quieter philosophical and devotional registers. The forms range widely, from rhymed sonnets and a heroic crown to aphoristic miniatures and free verse spread across the page. Dedicated to Ridland, who worked on it to within weeks of his death, it offers itself as a record of encounter rather than an authoritative survey.
