"Ambitious Mind Remaining"
(In honor of Petr Ginz)

Poem By: Alexandrya Maldonado

Petr's plans were so ambitious,
Even by the standards of an adult
. . . or someone living in freedom.
Among his tasks for November 1943,
Petr listed specific works he intended to read.

General ares of interest to study
Artistic projects he planned . . .
drawings, linoleum cuts and bookbinding.

His plans reflect his great ambition; 
However,
His reports that satisfy to his astonishing level
Intellectual, artistic, and creative . . .
Petr's accomplishments.
