Ship of Gold: The Essential Poems of Émile Nelligan

By Émile Nelligan

A legend of 19th century French Canadian poetry, mile Nelligan was only 16 when he fell under the influence of Baudelaire and Rimbaud and began writing taut, confidently surrealistic poems, shot through self-lacerating melancholy. Translating Nelligan's "essential" poems, along with a sharp introduction contextualizing his legacy as one of the "first poets to write openly about suicide, neurosis, and psychological breakdown," Marc di Saverio has given us a rivetingly fresh version of Nelligan for a new generation.
