|  | Rimbaud: A Biography
Publication Date: December 2001"Superb...the single best work to read about this haunting and haunted poet."—Richard Howard, New York Times Book ReviewUnknown beyond the avant-garde at the time of his death, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) has been one of the most destructive and liberating influences on twentieth-century culture. During his lifetime he was a bourgeois-baiting visionary, and the listof his known crimes is longer than the list ofhis published poems. But his posthumous careeris even more astonishing: saint to symbolistsand surrealists; poster child for anarchy anddrug use; g...
|  | Mute Objects of Expression
Publication Date: March 1, 2006In Mute Objects of Expression, Francis Ponge proclaims his goal: to accept the challenge that things—-objects—offer to language. These objects and scenes are perceived with unique Pongean art and humor in this volume centering on the unoccupied southern Loire countryside, where his family lived from 1940 to 1943. Because of wartime shortages, much of the book was drafted in a small notebook that made up his sole supply of paper. The poems recall the voices of Marianne Moore and William Carlos Williams and evoke the violent perfume of the mimosa, the...

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 l...
