Paperback. Condition: New. Challenged by his friend, poet and art critic Max Jacob, to write a novel, Pierre Reverdy produced this fragmented, beautiful assemblage of loneliness, paranoia and depersonalization drawn from his own experience of Paris in the early 20th century, the sometimes antagonistic atmosphere of the avant-garde and his own troubled relationship with Jacob, who tended to detect the threat of his literary treasures being plagiarized among everyone he knew. Toward the end of his life, Reverdy confirmed that the alienated, anxious "thief" of this novel in verse was a portrait of himself ("Talant" conveys both the dual echo in French of "talent" and the small town of Talan near Dijon, thereby evoking a potential plagiarizer from the countryside), and "Abel the Magus," a semi-satirical portrait of Jacob.Originally published in French in 1917, The Thief of Talant is a radical experiment in verse and narrative, a moving evocation of the loss (and recovery) of self and an encrypted guidebook to the "heroic" years of Cubism.Pierre Reverdy (1889-1960) was a reclusive yet integral component of the early Parisian avant-garde and a friend to painters such as Modigliani, Picasso and Gris, who, with fellow poets such as Apollinaire and Jacob, came to represent a faction known as the "Cubist poets." In 1926, Reverdy withdrew from Paris for a life of seclusion in the northwest of France.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A collection of poems by one of France's greatest modern poets translated by a collection of the best French translators.The great Pierre Reverdy, comrade to Picasso and Braque, peer and contemporary of Wallace Stevens and William Carlos Williams, is among the most mysteriously satisfying of twentieth-century poets, his poems an uncanny mixture of the simple and the sublime. Reverdy's poetry has exerted a special attraction on American poets, from Kenneth Rexroth to John Ashbery, and this new selection, featuring the work of fourteen distinguished translators, most of it appearing here for the first time, documents that ongoing relationship while offering readers the essential work of an extraordinary writer.Translated from the French by-John AshberyDan BellmMary Ann CawsLydia DavisMarilyn HackerRichard HowardGeoffrey O'BrienFrank O'HaraRon PadgettMark PolizzottiKenneth RexrothRichard SieburthPatricia TerryRosanna WarrenThis bilingual edition includes the original French versions of each poem. Pierre Reverdy, who was close to Picasso and Braque and was enormously admired by the surrealists, is one the greatest of modern French poets and one of the most elusive.
