Synopsis

"René Char is the conscience of modern French poetry and also its calm of mind. Nancy Naomi Carlson, in these splendid translations, casts new light upon the sublime consequence of Char's poetic character, and in Stone Lyre the case for sublimity is purely made."--Donald Revell, poet and translator of Rimbaud and Apollinaire

À propos de l?auteur

Rene Char (1907-1988) was one of the most important modern French poets. Admired by Heidegger for his poetic philosophy, he was a hero of the French Resistance and in the 1960s a militant anti-nuclear protester. Associated with the Surrealist movement for several years and a close friend of many painters--notably Braque, Giacometti, and Picasso--he wrote poetry that confronted major 20th century moral, political, and artistic concerns.
