This first collection of poetry by the influential French/Egyptian/Jewish writer, known for a powerful poetic prose of his own invention (The Book Of Questions, etc.), contains early and late poems, consistently exhibiting styles and themes closely related to the prose: economy of reference, passionate lyricism, aphoristic tendencies, preoccupation with the act of writing itself, and the ever-present theme of exile. Masterfully translated in a bilingual edition with important contributions by Robert Duncan and Paul Auster.
