Miklós Radnóti (1909–1944), born Miklós Glatter, is regarded as one of the greatest Hungarian poets of the 20th century. His poetry mingles avant-garde and expressionist themes with a new classical style. He was the Hungarian translator of works by La Fontaine and Apollinaire.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 2, #12, 13), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
