The World Forgotten: Selected Poems (Essential Poets series) Paul Belanger

Chosen from the first four books published by Paul BA©langer, this selection of poems provides an overview of the work of an acclaimed French Canadian poet. With "Projet de Pablo," a finalist for the A©mile Nelligan Award, BA©langer began to cultivate his memory using various kinds of tools, with Picasso"s works as pretext to compare painting to poetry. In "Retours," a finalist for the Governor General Award, the poet travels within to face the strangeness of the internal world. "L"oubli du monde" explores personal memory, as autobiography crosses history with well-tempered lyricism; and "FenA?tres et ailleurs" shows a man tackling existential issues.
