This inviting volume sets out to remedy the oversight, introducing a selection of du Bouchet's poetry and prose to English-language readers through the brilliant translations of Paul Auster and Hoyt Rogers. Openwork showcases pieces from the author's entire trajectory, beginning with little-known pieces from the 1950s, followed by major poems from the 1960s, and concluding with works written or rewritten in the poet's later decades.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThroughout his life, du Bouchet devoted himself to long walks in his beloved French countryside, jotting down entries in notebooks as he rambled. These notebooks--more than one hundred all together--have emerged as signal works in their own right, and their musings are well represented in this anthology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40679353417751,"sku":"9780300197631","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/612M-0QixEL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1698363751","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/bouchet-andre-du-openwork","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
