Hammer with No Master : Poems of Rene Char (French and English Edition) by Nancy Naomi Carlson

In his foreword to Stone Lyre, Nancy Naomi Carlson's previous collection of Ren? Char translations, Ilya Kaminsky praised "the intensity, the dream-like language, the gravity of tone, and the constant impression that one is reading not words in the language, but sparks of flames."Stone Lyre was a selection of poems from Char's numerous volumes of poems; Carlson's new Hammer with No Master is a discrete and continuous work, the first English translation of Char's Le marteau sans ma?tre, first published in 1934 - a time of rumbling menace that our time resembles.
