Poetry. Translated from the French by Dan Bellm. Bellm's translation of THE SONG OF THE DEAD completes the translation of Pierre Reverdy's major works to English, and is published by Black Square Editions. The cover, an image created by Picasso, is from the original French edition of Le chants des mortes. Written in the aftermath of World War II in northern France, where Reverdy was a partisan in the Resistance movement, THE SONG OF THE DEAD is a remarkable document of dissociation and shattering, refraining from documentary or narrative in favor of revealing troubled states of soul. Reverdy's sure command of image amidst the emotional atmosphere of life-in-death in postwar France creates a work of strange eloquence and grandeur. THE SONG OF THE DEAD was first published in 1948, in a handwritten edition with one hundred twenty five color lithographs by Pablo Picasso.

The Song Of The Dead

Pierre Reverdy (1889-1960) is considered by many to be one of France's most influential poets of the early twentieth century. His two dozen published poetry books went on to influence the Cubists and the Surrealists (playing a part in both groups formation) and his work continued to be viewed, admired and read by poets in Europe and America. Much of his work is still in print today and he is studied and written about as much today as he was some thirty years ago. Small anthologies of his work continue to appear in many languages. This volume is a fairly comprehensive survey of both the verse poems and the prose poems, in a bilingual format, and with prefaces and notes by the editor Mary Ann Caws and Patricia Terry. The Surrealists praised Reverdy as "the greatest living poet" at the time and many modern poets have continued to echo that praise. Reverdy moved to Paris at a young age and continued living there until his death in 1960.

Pierre Reverdy: Poems Early to Late (Black Widow Press Translation Series)

Commonwealth Books, Black Widow

The great Pierre Reverdy, comrade to Picasso and Braque, peer and contemporary of Wallace Stevens and William Carlos Williams, is among the most mysteriously satisfying of twentieth-century poets, his poems an uncanny mixture of the simple and the sublime. Reverdy’s poetry has exerted a special attraction on American poets, from Kenneth Rexroth to John Ashbery, and this new selection, featuring the work of fourteen distinguished translators, most of it appearing here for the first time, documents that ongoing relationship while offering readers the essential work of an extraordinary writer.
