Overview

Direct, colloquial, and allusive, these poems evoke the peasants and sailors of Brittany and the bohemians and prostitutes of Paris in a vivid, fast-paced language that transformed the Modernist, Symbolist, and Surrealist movements, and influenced Pound, Eliot and the poetry of both England and America. This parallel-text edition enables the reader to experience the poet's innovative wordplay firsthand, and the introduction by the translator provides essential contextualization.
