For as Far as the Eye Can See: A Memoir: Biblioasis International Translation, cartea 10
Autor Robert Melançon Traducere de Judith Cowanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 apr 2013
In the 144 poems of For as Far as the Eye Can See, Robert Melançon re-imagines the sonnet as a "rectangle of twelve lines," and poetry as "a monument as fragile as the grass." Impressionistic, seasonal, allusive, in language sharp and clean, this form-driven collection is both a book of hours and a measured meditation on art, nature, and the vagaries of perception.
Robert Melançon is one of Québec’s most revered contemporary poets and a two-time winner of the Governor General’s Award. A longtime translator of Canadian poet A.M. Klein, Melançon has been the poetry columnist for Le Devoir and the Radio-Canada program En Toutes Lettres; he is also a critic and has been a professor at the University of Montreal. In addition to the Governor General's Award he is a past recipient of the Prix Victor-Barbeau and the Prix Alain-Grandbois.

Recenzii
"Judith Cowan’s graceful translation of Robert Melançon’s For as Far as the Eye Can See packs 144 striking and meditative sonnets into one small volume. Melançon’s work is rich and deceptively simple: “Let’s lift our faces to this October sunlight, and close our eyes; at once we’ll share/the entirely philosophical well-being of the cat/who’s stretched out in the grass.” It’s a welcome introduction to one of Quebec’s major poets."—The Globe & Mail
"One hundred forty-four poems of acute observation: Melançon's invention is impressive. Judith Cowan's rendering of the poet's work into English is adroit and fully idiomatic."—Montreal Review of Books
"Poetry, in Melançon's hands, is a way of seeing."—GoodReports.net
"Melançon savours the real ... [in these] somber celebrations of appearances and their depths."—Patrick Kurp, Anecdotal Evidence
