{"product_id":"cinepoems-and-others-nyrb-poets","title":"Cinepoems and Others (NYRB Poets)","description":"Benjamin Fondane was that rarest of poets: an experimental formalist with a powerful lyric poetic voice; a renegade surrealist who was also a highly original existential philosopher; a self-consciously Jewish poet of diaspora and loss, whose last manuscripts made it out of Drancy in 1944 just before his deportation to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where he was murdered, yet whose poetry speaks of an overflowing plenitude. This bilingual selection is the first volume of Fondane’s poetry to appear in English, and it includes a broad sample of his work, from the coruscating and comic cinepoems of his surrealist years, to philosophical meditations, to poems that in their secular and mystical Judaism confront the historical calamity—and imaginative triumph—of European Jewry.\n\nThis bilingual edition includes the original French versions of each poem.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1590179005\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1590179005.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fondane, Benjamin|Schwartz, Leonard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
