Paris: Poetry of Place
Paris: Poetry Of Place
£6.99
Whether you`re a backpacker from Idaho on your first visit, or a cultural swallow on an annual migration to Paris, this pocket book will intoxicate & inspire, goad & guide. Unlike the grand city of public architecture & political achievement, the poetic tradition of Paris is personal, irreverent, sexy & invigorating. This collection delights in the company of such swashbuckling gallows-fodder as Francois Villon, & chuckles at the audacity of Rimbaud & Baudelaire, the perpetual rebels. What it proves is that in Paris, creativity is always political
- whether it`s Rimbaud reacting to the events of 1871, the Surrealists to the horrors of First World War trenches, or the generation of `68 to the excesses of Algeria & the complicities of Vichy. It`s also fitting inspiration for taking a day off from monuments & making your own magic revolution from your bed.
