The Digamma

More about the book

Focusing on the interplay between art and existence, this poetry collection by Yves Bonnefoy explores profound themes through meditations on Shakespeare's works and reflections on children, nature, and vanished cultures. Notable pieces include "God in 'Hamlet'" and "For a Staging of 'Othello'," which highlight his ongoing engagement with the playwright. The title piece, "The Digamma," references Nicolas Poussin's "The Shepherds of Arcadia," linking contemporary thoughts to ancient civilizations and revealing a complex relationship between being and non-being.
