Extrait : "Ma chère tante, Je viens vers vous tout doucement. Je serai aux Fresnes le 2 septembre, veille de l'ouverture de la chasse que je tiens à ne pas manquer, pour taquiner ces messieurs. Vous êtes trop bonne, ma tante, et vous leur permettez ce jour-là, quand vous êtes seule avec eux, de dîner sans habit et sans s'être rasés en rentrant, sous prétexte de fatigue."

"Paul Celan (1920-70) is one of the best-known German poets of the Holocaust; many of his poems, admired for their spare, precise diction, deal directly with its stark themes. Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-73) is recognized as one of post-World War II German literature's most important novelists, poets and playwrights. It seems only appropriate that these two contemporaries and masters of language were at one time lovers, and they shared...

Ne crois pas, ne crois pas, Alfred, que je puisse être heureuse avec la pensée d'avoir perdu ton coeur. Que j'aie été ta maîtresse ou ta mère, peu importe. Que je t'aie inspiré de l'amour ou de l'amitié ; que j'aie été heureuse ou malheureuse avec toi, tout cela ne change rien à l'état de mon âme à présent. Je sais que je t'aime et c'est tout. Veiller sur toi, te préserver de tout mal, de toute contrariété, t'entourer de distractions...

These astute, generous poems give us contemporary Beirut in all its ravaged and incongruent beauty. This arresting first collection is, in part, a delicately balanced look at Beirut from the perspective of a Westerner who lives and works in that remarkable city. Whether writing about the Middle East or about domestic life, Di Nardo refuses to romanticize; he doesn't moralize about the causes of perennial conflicts. He is that rare thing: a clear-eyed...

"The first collection from a Whiting Writers' Award winner whose work has become a fixture of The Paris Review and n+1. Can civilization save us from ourselves? That is the question J.D. Daniels asks in his first book, a series of six letters written during dark nights of the soul. Working from his own highly varied experience -- as a janitor, a night watchman, an adjunct professor, a drunk, an exterminator, a dutiful son -- he considers how far books...

"I know I frighten you, Mister Grey, but don't be afraid of me. Be afraid of the man who wants the truth buried."
It should all have been so simple: travel to the kingdom of Larence, learn more about the rumours of a war about to break out, and get back home to report on it. But Erasmus Grey is finding that his job is anything but simple in a place where newspapers are unheard of, and where the first thought
