1996 Összes versek (et. Collected poems) "Sexuality is often the
glass through which Petri discloses the nature of freedom. The same
is true of death. As the final limit on freedom, death is evoked by
Petri with a morbid physicality and black humour that recall the medieval
world. His view of sex is more ambivalent. It focuses the bleakness
of the human condition: the temporary nature of our attachments, failures
of communication, the mutability of the body, our ultimate loneliness.
But it is also an instance and emblem of personal freedom: an activity
pursued for its own sake, necessarily private, which no authority has
power to control."
(Clive Wilmer)
