Having recently read George Szirtes's latest book, I know he is deeply
into rhyme & that kind of form, so his translation of Radnoti is, as
you suggest, more him than R, & certainly turns me off the latter, in
this form.
I should mention that a much more interesting Radnoti appears in our
founder's series of Radnoti Poems, which John K published in a little
chapbook, but I'm not sure if it's in any of his Selecteds....
