A career retrospective of poetry and prose works by one of the
under-recognized giants of French literature Andre du Bouchet, a
great innovator of twentieth-century letters, has yet to be fully
recognized by a wide circle of international readers. This inviting
volume sets out to remedy the oversight, introducing a selection of
du Bouchet's poetry and prose to English-language readers through
the brilliant translations of Paul Auster and Hoyt Rogers. Openwork
showcases pieces from the author's entire trajectory, beginning
with little-known pieces from the 1950s, followed by major poems
from the 1960s, and concluding with works written or rewritten in
the poet's later decades. Throughout his life, du Bouchet devoted
himself to long walks in his beloved French countryside, jotting
down entries in notebooks as he rambled. These notebooks-more than
one hundred all together-have emerged as signal works in their own
right, and their musings are well represented in this anthology.
