Like Bits of Wind rights that wrong, offering a generous selection of Chappuis’s 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.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Poetry & DramaAuthor: Pierre ChappuisSubtitle: Selected Poetry and Poetic Prose, 1974-2014Item Height: 22mmItem Length: 14mmItem Width: 3mmItem Weight: 567gTranslator: John TaylorContributor: John Taylor (Translated by)Book Series: Swiss ListRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
