Description: A beautiful collection of poems from various styles and genres by France's foremost poet Yves Bonnefoy. Praised by Paul Auster as one of the rare poets in the history of literature to have sustained the highest level of artistic excellence throughout an entire lifetime Yves Bonnefoy is widely considered the foremost French poet of his generation. Proving that his prose is just as lyrical Rue Traversi re written in 1977, is one of his most harmonious works. Each of the fifteen discrete or linked texts whose lengths range from brief notations to long intense self - questioning pages is a work of art in its own right: brief and richly suggestive as haiku or long and intricately wrought in syntax and thought; and all are as rewarding in their sounds and rhythms and their lightning flashes of insight as any sonnet. I can write all I like; I am also the person who looks at the map of the city of his childhood and doesn t understand says the section that gives the book its title as he revisits childhood cityscapes and explores the tricks memory plays on us. A mixture of genres the prose poem the personal essay quasi - philosophical reflections on time memory and art this is a book of both epigrammatic concision and dreamlike narratives that meander with the poet's thought as he struggles to understand and express some of the undercurrents of human life. The book's layered texts echo and elaborate on one another as well as on aspects of Bonnefoy's own poetics and thought.
