It contains several of his most famous poems, including 'Ebauche d'un serpent' and 'Le cimetiere marin' - in Yvor Winters' view 'the two greatest short poems ever written.' The collection as a whole has achieved classic status as the finest work by the finest modern French poet. Here it is introduced and discussed by Peter Dale who has also appended some early poems, and one much later piece, of related interest."

The result is a fresh view of an intriguing poet,somewhat neglected but now revived in English."--BOOK JACKET.
