Book Synopsis
Yves Bonnefoy is considered as foremost French poet of his generation. This title features both epigrammatic concision and narratives that meander with the poet's thought as he struggles to understand and express some of the undercurrents of human life. It also includes Bonnefoy childhood cityscapes and explores the tricks memory plays on us.

Trade Review
"Bonnefoy's poems, prose, texts, and penetrating essays have never ceased to stimulate both the writing of French poetry and the discussion of what its deepest purpose should be.... He is one of the rare contemporary authors for whom writing does not-or should not-conclude in utter despair, but rather in the tendering of hope." (France Magazine)
