Cold Spring in Winter de Valerie Rouzeau

Cold Spring in Winter

Autor Valerie Rouzeau
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mar 2020
When Valérie Rouzeau's first poem sequence was published in France a decade ago under the title 'Pas Revoir', it met with immediate critical acclaim. These poems are an urgent, stammered lament for her dead father, a scrap-merchant, in which the poet's adult voice and that of the little girl she used to be combine in an extraordinary blend of baby-talk, youthful slang, coinages and puns - a breathless delivery of tremendous power. The influential poet and critic André Velter has described Rouzeau's poetry as 'violent in its capacity to exalt and disturb'. This quality comes to the fore in Susan Wicks's remarkable translation, the excellence and ingenuity of which, in Stephen Romer's words at the conclusion of his introduction to this volume, 'make good the transposition of this pure and singular voice into English'. Cold Spring in Winter was nominated for the 2010 Griffin Prize.

VALERIE ROUZEAU (author) was born in 1967 in Burgundy, France and now lives in a small town near Paris, Saint-Ouen, well-known for its flea-market. She has published a dozen collections of poems, including 'Pas revoir '(le de bleu, 1999), 'Va ou' (Le Temps qu'il Fait, 2002) and more recently 'Apothicaria' (Wigwam, 2007) and 'Mange-Matin' (l'idee bleue, 2008). She has also published volumes translated from Sylvia Plath, William Carlos Williams, Ted Hughes and the photographer Duane Michals. She is the editor of a little review of poetry for children (from 5 to 117 years old) called 'dans la lune' and lives mainly by her pen through public readings, poetry workshops in schools, radio broadcasts and translation.

She is also the author of two novels, 'The Key' (1997), the story of a middle-aged woman haunted by the memory of a former lover, and 'Little Thing' (1998), an experimental novel about a young Englishwoman living and teaching in France. Her most recent book of poems, 'De-iced', came out from Bloodaxe in 2007, and a book of short stories, 'Roll Up for the Arabian Derby', from Bluechrome in 2008.
