Early Poems
1947–1959
By Yves Bonnefoy
·
Translation by Galway Kinnell and Richard Pevear
Yves Bonnefoy is probably the most prominent figure in the generation of French poets who came into public view following World War II. Dedicated to poetry more as a means of spiritual illumination than as a technique for creating artistic monuments, he uses what he conceives to be the brokenness and poverty of language to enable us to glimpse a wholeness lacking in our contemporary world.
The Palace of Bones
By Allison Eir Jenks
The Palace of Bones by Allison Eir Jenks is an often stark and startling vision of the way we live, the places we inhabit, and the relics we make to comfort ourselves.Haunted by a quiet, unquenchable longing, Jenks expertly and calmly guides the reader through a vivid dreamscape in this first full-length collection of poems.The Palace of Bones was selected by final judge and Pulitzer Prize winner Carolyn Kizer.
