After suffering a crisis of creative confidence U. G. Vil???gos went to live in a cottage in the Hungarian countryside, a house he inherited from his great uncle. In the basement he discovered a lost cache of VHS tapes, roughly 150 of them. Vil???gos watched one tape a week and wrote this long poem by composing lines in his head while watching the tapes.
