'Carr's faithfulness to the author is clear and unwavering. Her skills as translator, as well as a poet, are evident throughout the collection, and every page breathes new, ardent life into Brossard's work.'--Vallum Magazine

Reseña del editor:

"[Nicole Brossard] is a wholly singular writer, part of a larger movement of Quebec Women's writing, part of feminist writing, avant-garde writing, part of lesbian writing, but wholly, unequivocally, herself."-Sina Queyras something like wait for me in the braille of scars tonight can i suggest a little punctuation circle half-moon vertical line of astonishment a pause that transforms light and breath into language and threshold of fire Even as vowels tremble in danger and worldly destruction repeats itself on the horizon, Ardour reminds us that the silence pulsing within us is also a language of connection. In these poems, intimacy with the other is another astonishment-a pleasant gasp, a "pause that transforms light and breath into language and threshold of fire." Since her first book appeared fifty years ago, Nicole Brossard has left us breathless, expanding our notion of poetry and its possibilities. Nicole Brossard is a poet, novelist, and essayist who has published more than thirty books since 1965 that have been translated into several languages. She has received two Governor General's Awards for poetry, the Canada Council's Molson Prize, le Prix Athanase-David, and the prestigious Chevaliere de l'Ordre National du Quebec. She lives in Montreal, Quebec. Angela Carr is a poet and translator. Her most recent book is Here in There. Originally from Montreal, Quebec, she currently lives in New York City.
