Book Synopsis
The book examines how 19th- and 20th-century French-speaking poets have used cinema for cross-medium writing experiments, especially in the aftermath of the two world wars, thereby altering modernist literary imagination.

Trade Review
"Wall-Romana uncovers a not previously recognized genre in French literature: cinepoetry: a modernist poem that responds to challenges the cinema posed to writing. This book traces the new genre from Mallarme's Une Coup de Des to contemporary work, revealing how poets have found inspiration in cinema's visuality, control of movement and projected light -- and in the process discovered new forms for poetry." -- -Tom Gunning University of Chicago
