Anecdotal Evidence: `How Poets Die in This Age'
Excerpt:
Let us remember the birth of a poet more often remembered for his desolate death at age thirty-four. Miklós Radnóti was born on this date in 1909 in Budapest.

You must remember him!” Radnóti’s posthumous existence as man and poet is a miracle, and I’ve recounted some of the story here.
