Stéphane Mallarmé: The Poems in Verse

By Stéphane Mallarmé and MALLARME STEPHANE

Book Overview

The Poems in Verse is Peter Manson s translation of the Po sies of St phane Mallarm . Long overshadowed by Mallarm 's theoretical writings and by his legendary visual poem Un coup de D s jamais n'abolira le Hasard, the Po sies are lyrics of a uniquely prescient and generative modernity. Grounded in a scrupulous sounding of the complex ambiguities of the original poems, Manson s English translations draw on the resources of the most innovative poetries of our own time these may be the first translations really to trust the English language to bear the full weight of Mallarm an complexity. With The Poems in Verse, Mallarm 's voice is at last brought back, with all its incisive strangeness, into the conversation it started a hundred and fifty years ago, called contemporary poetry.
