Prose poems by Tivadar Raith (1893–1953), an important figure in the Hungarian Avant-garde, who made the earliest translations of Apollinaire. Between 1921 and 1927 he ran “Magyar Írás”, a magazine for modern literature and art.

Erzsébet Csöre (1896–?) was a Hungarian expressionist graphic artist, associated with the avant-garde circle around Raith and “Magyar Írás”.
