Translated from the French by John Taylor. In the field of contemporary French poetry, Jacques Dupin (b. 1927) is a leading figure in a remarkable generation that also includes Yves Bonnefoy (b. 1923), Philippe Jaccottet (b. 1925), Pierre-Albert Jourdan (1924-1981), André du Bouchet (1924-2001), and Pierre Chappuis (b. 1930)--to mention only these five poets whose poetics and subject matter are remotely comparable. However, in contrast to Bonnefoy and Jaccottet especially, Dupin's work has been little available in English. A single substantial volume, \u003cem\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e (Wake Forest University Press, 1992; translated by Paul Auster, Stephen Romer, and David Shapiro), collects early work, but none of the poet's recent verse has appeared in English-speaking countries. Two pioneering anthologies dating back some forty years, respectively to 1970 and 1973--the poems from \u003cem\u003eGravir\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eTo Climb\u003c\/em\u003e) in the seventh issue of \u003cem\u003eCronopios\u003c\/em\u003e (to which six translators contributed) and the \u003cem\u003eFits and Starts: Selected Poems of Jacques Dupin\u003c\/em\u003e rendered by Auster for the second number in the Living Hand Editions series--provide more access to Dupin's challenging oeuvre, yet several of those renderings were reprinted (sometimes with revisions) in the aforementioned \u003cem\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e. All told, these three initial gatherings have given a good look that can now be prolonged.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The Bitter Oleander Press","offers":[{"title":"Of Flies and Monkeys | Jacques Dupin | Paperback | 9780978633547 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1706323","offer_id":50834329436418,"sku":"1706323","price":41.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/A1IQkdTqL0L.jpg?v=1792634804","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/of-flies-and-monkeys","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
