The Landscape Is Behind the Door

by Pierre Martory

The Landscape Is Behind the Door Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Poetry. "His dreams, his pessimistic resumes of childhood that are suddenly lanced by a joke, his surreal loves, his strangely lit landscapes with their inquisitive birds and disquieting flora, are fertile influences for me, though I hope I haven't stolen anything - well, better to steal than borrow, as Eliot more or less said. Ican only hope that this first substantial gathering of Martory's poetry into a volume will be a revelation for others as well" -John Ashbery, from the Introduction

Book News Annotation:

Intoxicating, heady, imagistic, sometimes surrealistic poems, translated impeccably by John Ashbery, bring this little known but hugely deserving French poet to the attention of an American audience.
