Synopsis

Influenced by Mallarmé, Guillaume Apollinaire's calligrammes and Pierre Reverdy's early poems, Sohn explores the page as space and the "image" the poem can leave in that space. His interest is in the abstract or conceptual use of the page as well as the relation between text and image, especially how it plays out in artist's books. Contemporary parallels to his work can be found in Roger Giroux, Anne-Marie Albiach, André du Bouchet and the painter Pierre Tal Coat.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Michael Sohn grew up in the Massachusetts town that spawned "Mary Had a Little Lamb". He has lived in Chicago, a whole lifetime in New York City, and presently lives in Marseille with his wife. For too many years he taught Freshman Composition in NYC while working on his own poems, reading and writing about contemporary French poetry, and thinking about the relationship between text and image, the visual arts and poetry. He has published articles on French poets Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898) and André du Bouchet (1924-2001). He is currently writing, in French, a book of experimental and "shaped" prose, Contre [Against], about the French painter Pierre Tal Coat (1905-85), du Bouchet and the problem of writing painting.
