  A Wiser, More Beautiful Death

In Abda, Hungary, a mass grave was exhumed in 1946 and the long sought after
corpse of Hungarian poet Miklos Radnoti was found. In the dead poet's
raincoat pocket was his name card an notebook containing his last ten poems.
Stained in the fluids of decomposing bodies and wet from moisture and earth,
the Bor notebook, drying in the sun, was to become one of the most important
documents of fascist atrocities against Jews and intellectuals. Written not
in memory, but in the labor camp and proceeding forced march, Radnoti
expresses hope, nostalgia, horror and execution in an essential record of
perpetuity *in extremis*.

After extensive collaboration with music and poetry spanning years, Dylan
Morgan and Roberto Haven have chosen the Bor notebook as the focus of their
musical/poetic dialog because of its uncanny recovery and the vital
questions it conveys: What in poetry necessitates its composition while the
poet is marching into death? How might we offer the most poignant negation
of forgetfulness of this most significant political dehumanization? The
project, 'A Wiser, More Beautiful Death,' intends to increase awareness of
Radnoti and extend the afterlife of his work. But perhaps more importantly
it is a musical/poetic inquiry into our most curious, human propensity to
strive.
