Szilárd József Borbély (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈsilaːrd ˈborbeːj]); 1 November 1963 – 19 February 2014) was a Hungarian academic, writer and poet.

[1][2] The Poetry Foundation identifies him as "one of the most important poets to emerge in post-1989 Hungary", who utilised several writing genres and predominantly dealt with subjects like grief, memory and trauma.

[3] Borbély suffered from "post-traumatic depression", related to the murder of his mother during a burglary in 2000 and the subsequent breakdown and death of his father, who had also been attacked.

[4][5][6] Borbély committed suicide on 19 February 2014.
