Marie-Claire Bancquart’s work explores, primarily through the vulnerabilities and sensitivities of the body (hence this book’s ‘carnal’ title), the possibility of releasing a cry: a salvation of language and spirit from indifference, abstraction and dehumanisation, a celebration of a moment’s reunion with the recreative vitality of the physical universe, an act of love in its most private yet cosmic expression. Bancquart has described her language as a ‘braille of the living’: minimal, interrupted and riddled with obscurities and gaps of the unsayable, but apprehending the world and composing its significance in a singularly tactile translation. This study will appeal to those keen to discover one of the most original voices of present-day European poetry, the distinctive poetic resonances of one of its most self-aware and vibrant female sensibilities, and the provocative orientations of ‘new writing’ traversed by the dilemmas and paradoxes of our own era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Mémoire d’abolie Définition Opportunité des oiseaux Trains Opéra des limites Suite au dieu-lune Sans lieu sinon l’attente Cariatides Énigmatiques Carnet La vie, lieu-dit Habitée par une tendresse La paix saignée À la morte Bio-Bibliography Index of proper names","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210902397271,"sku":"9789042023666","price":90.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/in-the-flesh-of-the-text-the-poetry-of-marie-claire-bancquart-9789042023666","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
