Cinepoems And Others

Discover the profound and evocative world of Benjamin Fondane in "Cinepoems And Others," a captivating collection that showcases the unique voice of one of the most intriguing poets of the 20th century. Published in 2016 and spanning 232 pages, this bilingual edition is the first of Fondane's poetry to be presented in English, offering readers an extensive glimpse into his artistic vision. Fondane was not only an experimental formalist and a renegade surrealist, but also a deeply original existential philosopher whose works reflect the rich complexities of diaspora and loss. His powerful lyrical poetry continues to resonate, even in the face of tragedy, as Fondane's last writings made their way out of Drancy just before his deportation to Auschwitz. This collection, enriched with his striking cinepoems, invites poetry lovers to explore the intersection of humor and introspection in Fondane's remarkable oeuvre.
