"A reasonably discerning reader of Hamutal Bar-Yosef in translation will find that although her poems are written about her life, which has been tragic and sometimes glorious, Israel, the Jews and their culture, what it means to be alive, the worldÑall very big subjectsÑher writing is such that if she were writing about a soap bubble she would be immediately recognizable as a great poet."

Book Description: he Sheep Meadow Press, 2008. Softcover. Book Condition: New. Bilingual Edition in French and English. 280 pages. Softcover. New book. POETRY. Translated into English from the French by John Ashbery. "After I began translating Pierre Martory, that is, after I began to realize that his marvelous poetry would likely remain unknown unless I translated it and brought it to the attention of American readers, I have begun to find echoes of his work in mine. His dreams, his pessimistic rŽsumŽs of childhood that are suddenly lanced by a joke, his surreal loves, his strangely lit landscapes with their inquisitive birds and disquieting flora, have been fertile influences for me, though I hope I haven't stolen anything Ñ well, better to steal than borrow, as Eliot more or less said. All of which may be a way of saying that there is no very easy way to describe Martory's poetry. It is sui generis and it deserves to be read. And reread." ÑJohn Ashbery (Key Words: Bilingual Edition, French Language, Pierre Martory, John Ashbery, Poetry). book. Bookseller Inventory # 52344X3
