Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. A tight, unread copy. Octavo, 304 pages. A bilingual selection of poems, prose, and fragments by major 20th-century French poet André du Bouchet, drawn from a half-century of work and presented in English for the first time. Part of the Margellos World Republic of Letters series. Translated from the French by Paul Auster and Hoyt Rogers. du Bouchet (1924–2001) was a central figure in postwar French poetry, known for his austere, fragmented verse that sought to dissolve the boundaries between language, perception, and the physical world. A key contributor to the literary journal L’Éphémère, he was also a prolific translator (notably of Celan, Hölderlin, and Shakespeare) and collaborated closely with painters such as Giacometti and Tal Coat, bringing a visual sensibility to his textual experiments.

André du Bouchet, a great innovator of twentieth-century letters, has yet to be fully recognized by a wide circle of international readers. This inviting volume sets out to remedy the oversight, introducing a selection of du Bouchet’s poetry and prose to English-language readers through the brilliant translations of Paul Auster and Hoyt Rogers. Openwork showcases pieces from the author’s entire trajectory, beginning with little-known pieces from the 1950s, followed by major poems from the 1960s, and concluding with works written or rewritten in the poet’s later decades.
Throughout his life, du Bouchet devoted himself to long walks in his beloved French countryside, jotting down entries in notebooks as he rambled. These notebooks―more than one hundred all together―have emerged as signal works in their own right, and their musings are well represented in this anthology.
