JORIS, Pierre
An American Suite

Sourced from never-before published manuscripts and personal papers, An American Suite traces the many boundaries that Pierre Joris encounters on his circa 1970s journey through Europe, North Africa, and into America—national borders, walls and coastlines, temporary lodgings, language and perception, death itself—are crossed, exorcised, or transgressed through will and imagination. Breath by breath, these poems exude immediacy, fluidity, and resilience.
