{"product_id":"writing-the-real","title":"Writing The Real. A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary French Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the 1960s, poetry in French has been understood in terms of two competing approaches: searching for ‘présence’ on the one hand, ‘littéralité’ – refiguring the everyday – on the other. Contemporary forms of both are found in this anthology, from the ‘new lyricism’ of Bonhomme and Maulpoix to the refracted politics of ‘post-poetry’ in Tarkos and Gleize. The dichotomy, however, quickly breaks down and many poets refuse to be categorised in this way: recent publications include the interdisciplinary and collaborative work of poets such as Alferi, Chaton, Game and Macher; the focus on formal constraint in Métail and Espitallier; Portugal’s exploration of the impact of new technologies. Writing the Real features 18 key contemporary French-language poets alongside English translations by leading poets and translators, including Keston Sutherland and Joshua Clover.
