More about the book

The French Republican Calendar, established to secularize time and empower rural workers, serves as the foundation for the poems in A Revolutionary Calendar. Each month was renamed to reflect the seasons, and days honored plants, animals, minerals, or tools instead of saints. The poet Fabre d'Églantine's innovative naming inspires a rich exploration of etymology, translation, and sensory memory, highlighting connections and solidarities among humans, objects, and other species.
