by Anne Hebert
Translated from the French by A. Poulin, Jr.
New American Translations Series
Day Has No Equal
But Night is the first book of new poems in 20 years by the
most renowned French Canadian poet of the 20th century. Anne Hébert's
poems reflect her apocalyptic vision of the death of love as well
as the death of the planet. She offers lyrics that germinate from
a surreal, socio-political landscape on the cusp of the millennium.
Tiny
Little Pains
Tiny
little pains
Ordinary
ones
Strewn
on the meadow at noon
Children's
tears
Laid
out to dry on the green grass
Melt
in the sun
Rise
to heaven
They're
so light and transparent
They
mingle with clouds
Leaving
no visible trace or complaint
In
the pure air.
