The selected poems of Max Jacob

Sinopse

"The Cubist reconsideration of time and space that we are now familiar with in the paintings of Braque and Picasso had its most important literary equivalent in the poems of Max Jacob, who was closely associated with them in Paris in the early part of the twentieth century.". "Jacob's poems, which use prose as a powerful instrument of investigation into states of ecstasy and disillusion, are now here represented, in thoughtful renderings by William Kulik, in a selection that makes evident Jacob's importance and uniqueness for English-speaking readers."--BOOK JACKET.
