Inhoudsopgave:|
A bilingual collection of renga poetry by two of Canada's most celebrated poets in English and in French, each writing in his respective language in response to the other. A project of discourse itself, shared in dialogue between two poets, as they explore Novalisâ definition of poetry as âthe truly absolute real.â The poetic act is world-changing, the agglomeration of atoms as they fall through space â a sort of âelective affinityâ, or state of grace â to constitute Being. If Lao Tzu reminds us that the Dao that can be named is not the eternal Dao, this renga, suffused with elements of the natural world, also recognizes that, in the words of Angelus Silesius, ââthe unnameable, which we usually call God, is expressed and revealed through the Word.ââ Léveillé and Bloggett share an unprecedented dialogue that possesses both paradox and complete clarity of word in Canada's two official languages. |
