Om bidragsyterne
Édouard Glissant (1928–2011) has long been recognized in the French and francophone world as one of the most influential postcolonial theorists, novelists, playwrights, and poets. The translator, Nathanael, translates between French and English.
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.
