Cornel Adam Lengyel

Cornel Adam Lengyel was an American poet, historian, playwright and translator. He received the Maxwell Anderson Award in 1950 for his play The Atom Clock.What would a writer convey through his work? His vision of life: his response to the oddity, terror, humor, beauty, pathos, or grandeur of experience. He would renew our original sense of wonder at the mystery of things and speak in a human voice fittingly of man's mortal adventures amid the immortal dance of the elements. — Cornel Adam
