Endre Farkas

Endre Farkas was born in 1948 in Hajdunanas Hungary and escaped with his parents in 1956 during the Hungarian revolution. He has lived in and around Montreal ever since. He became active in the Montreal poetry scene in the early seventies: writing, running the Vehicule Poetry Reading series, becoming one of the original editors of Vehicule Press and one of the Vehicule poets. He collaborated with artists from other disciplines to create poetry performance pieces that toured across Canada.

He founded the Muses' Company in 1980 as an umbrella for the collaborative pieces and as a publishing house that gave a number of poets their first books. He was one of the original founders of QSPELL and QWF and was president of the Quebec English Publishers' Association. Farkas has published 9 books of poetry and two plays and edited a number of anthologies. He has read his works in France, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and the United States. His work has been translated into Hungarian, French, Spanish, Italian, Slovenian, German and Turkish.
