Stone Lyre: Poems of Rene Char

Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the French by Nancy Naomi Carlson. Early Surrealist, resistance fighter, anti-nuclear activist, and exquisite poet, Rene Char is at the heart of 20th century French poetry.... Carlson gives English-language readers a real sense of Char's depth and breadth. And her masterful translations catch the barely contained drama that gives Char's work such tension and presence--Cole Swensen.
