Publisher's Synopsis

Redigee avec la precision mathematique de Lee Slonimsky et traduite avec le don musical de Elizabeth J. Coleman, cette edition bilingue [ francais/anglais ] introduit cette collection emouvante de sonnets modernes aux lecteurs francophones pour la premiere fois. Fiona Sze-Lorrain, l'auteur de THE RUINED ELEGANCE (Princeton University Press), dit: Merci a l'univers / pour les oiseaux qui savent compter; les nombres / sont pour eux ce que les mots sont pour nous. S'inspirant de la vie de Pythagore, les poemes enigmatiques de Lee Slonimsky, dans une traduction d'Elizabeth J. Coleman, oscillent tendrement entre une meditation metaphysique et un recit a la fois curieux et romanesque, tout en montrant la complexite sublime d'un etre en quete de liberte reelle, de creation et d'expression. Written with Lee Slonimsky's mathematical precision and translated with Elizabeth J. Coleman's musical flair, this bilingual edition [French/English] opens this poignant collection of modern sonnets to francophone readers for the first time. Rachel Hadas, author of THE GOLDEN ROAD (Northwestern University Press), says: "Lee Slonimsky's beautiful sonnets in PYTHAGORAS IN LOVE are chastened by the consistent austerity of their limits. Yet these restrictions of vocabulary and imagery are also enriching and generative. Elizabeth J. Coleman's elegant French translation, conveying the burnished spareness of the original, sometimes recalls the elemental lyricism of Yves Bonnefoy.""
