A beautiful collection of poems from various styles and genres by
France's foremost poet, Yves Bonnefoy. Praised by Paul Auster as
“one of the rare poets in the history of literature to have
sustained the highest level of artistic excellence throughout an
entire lifetime,” Yves Bonnefoy is widely considered the foremost
French poet of his generation. Proving that his prose is just as
lyrical, Rue Traversière, written in 1977, is one of his most
harmonious works. Each of the fifteen discrete or linked texts,
whose lengths range from brief notations to long, intense,
self-questioning pages, is a work of art in its own right: brief
and richly suggestive as haiku, or long and intricately wrought in
syntax and thought; and all are as rewarding in their sounds and
rhythms, and their lightning flashes of insight, as any sonnet.
“I can write all I like; I am also the person who looks at the
map of the city of his childhood and doesn’t understand,” says
the section that gives the book its title, as he revisits childhood
cityscapes and explores the tricks memory plays on us. A mixture of
genres—the prose poem, the personal essay, quasi-philosophical
reflections on time, memory, and art—this is a book of both
epigrammatic concision and dreamlike narratives that meander with
the poet’s thought as he struggles to understand and express some
of the undercurrents of human life. The book’s layered texts echo
and elaborate on one another, as well as on aspects of Bonnefoy’s
own poetics and thought.
