Glissant, Édouard
Poetic intention / Édouard Glissant ; translated from the French by Nathalael, with Anne Malena. - Callicoon, NY : Nightboat Books ; 2010. - 231 p. ; 21 cm.
This marks the publication of the first English-language translation of Poetic Intention, Glissant’s classic meditation on poetry and art. In this wide-ranging book, Glissant discusses poets, including Stéphane Mallarmé and Saint-John Perse, and visual artists, such as the Surrealist painters Matta and Wilfredo Lam, arguing for the importance of the global position of art. He states that a poem, in its intention, must never deny the “way of the world.” Capacious, inventive, and unique, Glissant’s Poetic Intention creates a new landscape for understanding the relationship between aesthetics and politics.
