| Synopsis: |
This marks the publication of the first English-language translation of "Poetic Intention", Glissant's classic meditation on poetry and art. In this wide-ranging book, Glissant discusses poets, including Stephane Mallarme and Saint-John Perse, and visual artists, such as the Surrealist painters Matta and Wilfredo Lam, arguing for the importance of the global position of art. He states that a poem, in its intention, must never deny the 'way of the world'. Capacious, inventive, and unique, "Glissant's Poetic Intention" creates a new landscape for understanding the relationship between aesthetics and politics. |
