The poems and prose pieces appearing in this volume were selected by the editors of the Hungarian anthology, Támadó tűz voltunk (We Were a Storming Fire, Budapest 2016), published on the sixtieth anniversary of the Revolution: János Oláh and Katalin Mezey. The vast majority of the works have been newly translated for this English version and here they are thematically arranged, in an attempt to follow the subject-matter chronology.
