Gizella Hervay (1934–1982) is sometimes referred to as the “Ingeborg Bachmann of Transylvania.” Mostly neglected by criticism during her short and tragic life, the poet started publishing in the most important Hungarian-language magazines in Romania in the 1960s. A selection of her poetry translated by Erika Mihálycsa is forthcoming from Seagull Press in 2025 in an anthology of Hungarian women poets edited by Ottilie Mulzet.
