Synopsis
“The publication of Décimale blanche in 1967 marked a major shift in French poetry, introducing an entirely new sensibility. Fifty years later, Norma Cole’s superb new translation is no less exciting. Not only is it a masterful rendition of this classic, capturing all its spare force and uncanny grace, but it also stands in its own right as an important contribution to American poetry. White Decimal is a striking literary event, and an extremely beautiful one.” ―Cole Swensen, author of Noise That Stays Noise

Also a photographer, Daive chairs the Centre international de poésie de Marseille. NORMA COLE’s books of poetry include Win These Posters and Other Unrelated Prizes Inside, Where Shadows Will: Selected Poems 1988―2008, Spinoza in Her Youth and Natural Light, and most recently Actualities, her collaboration with painter Marina Adams.
