Klappentext This bilingual volume, with the French and English on facing pages, is a translation of a book of poems by Rene Char, a 20th-century French poet known for his work of great beauty. Fierce, lyrical, searching, Char is a gifted writer in whose poems we encounter a range of voices: those of a leader in the French Resistance, a visionary of his native Provence, an elegist, a lover, a mystic of the night, an evocative and at times riddling aphorist. Zusammenfassung Collects the poems that explore various paths of life, from that of an ardent lover and a mystic to a cosmic pastoralist responsive to the presences of the natural world, and contain a spirit of defiant freedom.
