The Centenary Corbière

By Tristan Corbière and Tristan Corbiere

Book Overview

Direct, colloquial, and allusive, these poems evoke the peasants and sailors of Brittany and the bohemians and prostitutes of Paris in a vivid, fast-paced language that transformed the Modernist, Symbolist, and Surrealist movements, and influenced Pound, Eliot and the poetry of both England and America. This parallel-text edition enables the reader to experience the poet's innovative wordplay firsthand, and the introduction by the translator provides essential contextualization.
