Naissances/Births

The Uruguayan-born twentieth-century French poet, Jules Supervielle, admired by Rilke, T. S. Eliot, Paul Celan and Richard Howard, here appears for the first time in a bilingual French-English edition of an entire work-in a project authorized and encouraged by Gallimard and the Supervielle family. Naissances provides an epitome-a sampling and a summing up-of much that is fascinating in Supervielle: traditional and free verse poems-lyric, dramatic and narrative-expressing many of his obsessive themes (angoisse, gravitations, metamorphoses, births, loss, exile, death).
