Like Bits of Wind: Selected Poetry and Poetic Prose, 1974-2014 by Pierre Chappui

Description: Like Bits of Wind by Pierre Chappuis, John Taylor Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description One of the central figures from a remarkable generation of French-language poets, Pierre Chappuis has thus far only been represented in English translation in fragments: a few poems here and there in magazines, online reviews, and anthologies. Like Bits of Wind rights that wrong, offering a generous selection of Chappuiss poetry and prose from the past forty years, drawn from several of his books. In these pages, Chappuis delves into long-standing questions of the essence of life, our relationship to landscape, the role of the perceiving self, and much more. His skeletal, haiku-like verse starkly contrasts with his more overtly poetic prose, which revels in sinuous lines and interpolated parentheticals. Together, the different forms are invigorating and exciting, the perfect introduction for English-language readers. Author Biography Pierre Chappuis was born in Tavennes, Switzerland in 1930 and has published numerous volumes of poetry and prose. John Taylor is a translator and critic.
