The Poems in Verse (Paperback)

Poetry. Translated from the French by Peter Manson. THE POEMS IN VERSE is Peter Manson's translation of The Po&#233sies of St&#233phane Mallarm&#233. Long overshadowed by Mallarmé's theoretical writings and by his legendary visual poem "Un coup de D&#233s jamais n'abolira le Hasard," the Po&#233sies 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&#233an complexity. With THE POEMS IN VERSE, Mallarmé'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.
