Aus dem Klappentext
The author of numerous poetry collections, essays and short novels, Jacques Réda has for over forty years been an active presence in French literature. In Return to Calm he is a writer in motion, expansive in his portrayal of days present and past. He holds a mirror up to ordinary events in an effort to reveal their innate poetry, as if to ask, Does the world belong to us or do we instead belong to it? Frequently on the lookout for deepened connections, he realizes they may remain at bay but encourages poems to emit slight signals of hope to us through the interplay of words on the page. Hints of emotion, particularly expressed as admiration for our natural surroundings, further point Réda s poetry toward the lyrical according to today s poetic compass.Return to Calm does what it implies it will soothe, reassure, suggest forgiveness, appease. Whether quietly murmured or marked by a certain playfulness and warmth, it uplifts and entrances, as much through its thoughtful seeking and questioning as through its striking, yet in their images so recognizable, I-wish-I-had-said-that lines. from the Introduction by Aaron Prevots
