Marcel Cohen

Walls (Anamneses) Marcel Cohen

Poetry. Translated from the French by Brian Evenson and Joanna Howard. A compendium of aphoristic passages, a flipbook of presences and absences, an exquisitely minimalist travelogue-cum-commonplace book, a remembrance of things past by way of the fragment: it is difficult to categorize this text, which was originally published in 1979, but it is quite easy to appreciate its grave acumen and elegance--Michael Leong.
