About the author

Serge Gavronsky is Professor of French at Barnard College, Columbia University. He is the author of numerous creative and critical works and is a well-known translator of contemporary French poetry.

Summary

A neolyricism is now replacing the formalism of the 1960s, `70s and `80s in avant-garde French poetry and prose. This text shows how the ideological definition of writing has given way to more open forms of writing - ordinary human experiences are now finding a place in the text.
