{"product_id":"9780856464164","title":"Into the Deep Street","description":"\u003cp\u003eContemporary French poetry has long been tagged as being overly cerebral and hermetic. But there exists a very different, thriving tradition which is too often muffled by noisier movements like Surrealism or Minimalism.\u003ci\u003e Into the Deep Street \u003c\/i\u003egives voice to this tradition. What links the poets is an acute awareness of the existential instant in both its inward workings and also, crucially, in its outwardness – in the street, on the move.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom the key figure of Jean Follain, who can freeze an entire period of history in a vignette of a few lines, via the best-known of the close-knit if regionally scattered group, Philippe Jaccottet, to the newer voices of Guy Goffette and Gilles Ortlieb, all these poets are masters of wry brevity and the resonant image.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJennie Feldman’s first collection of poems, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Notebook\u003c\/i\u003e, was published by Anvil in 2005, as was her selection and translation from Jacques Réda’s poems, \u003ci\u003eTreading Lightly\u003c\/i\u003e. She lives in Jerusalem.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStephen Romer has been Maître de conférences at the University of Tours since 1991. His anthology \u003ci\u003e20th Century French Poems\u003c\/i\u003e was published by Faber in 2002. The latest of his four collections of poetry, \u003ci\u003eYellow Studio\u003c\/i\u003e, was published by Carcanet in 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carcanet Press, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008673693936,"sku":"9780856464164","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780856464164_p0.jpg?v=1763830873","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780856464164","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
