  • Product Description

    The first English selection of Jacques Réda's poems draws on his earliest major collections, widely regarded as among his finest: `Amen', awarded the Priz Max Jacob, 1968; `Récitatif', 1970; and `La Tourne', 1975. These were a formative influence on the `new lyricism' that was to change the direction of French poetry in the 1980s. With an eye for detail and drama, his poems roam from day-to-day Paris to other times and places, striking a wry, pensive note that is at once personal and universal. They will appeal to readers who share Réda's belief that poetry lives through its rhythm, or `better still, le swing' (he is a respected jazz critic). The music is admirably captured in Jennie Feldman's translations.
