A career retrospective of poetry and prose works by one of the under-recognized giants of French literature 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.

I can't say if Auster and Rogers are right in their claims that Bouchet has had a huge influence on French poetry; I can say this is volume is well worth a look, particularly if you have a bit of French yourself, and enjoy restraint. ( )
