More about the book

Exploring the interplay between the tangible and the cosmic, this collection captures Guillevic's profound reflections on existence through encounters with nature and the universe. The translations by Monique Chefdor and Stella Harvey preserve the original's elegant simplicity while conveying its complex themes of mortality and the search for ultimate reality. Celebrated as a pivotal work in contemporary French poetry, it invites readers to appreciate the delicate connections between seemingly disparate elements of life, from a leaf to the stars.
