Beskrivelse
Edge offers a selection of poems from Claire Malroux s previous volumes, published under her nom de plume Claire Sara Roux, with new poems all translated by Marilyn Hacker. From the Translator s Preface: Claire Malroux s poems have no political agenda. But, often enough, they subvert expectations by simply using undramatic womanly quotidian gestures to signify the human universal. A woman s specifically female odors and textures are transmuted into the earth s seasonal modulations: the lipstick poised in the air in front of the bathroom mirror leads to a meditation on fixity, stagnation, and change; the silenced virgins of myth and provincial dining-rooms rise up out of their fathers shadows and claim the power of the word.
