"Great poets deserve many translators, and Nancy Naomi Carlson brings her ear to Char's work in English in a compelling way. Anyone who opens this book...will love her musical use of our language....(T)his new translation of Char's work...shows us...the intensity, the dream-like language, the gravity of tone, and the constant impression that one is reading not words in the language, but sparks of flames that defy any attempt at interpretation, or rather open themselves to multiple interpretations at once, clashing with each other, their intersections catching fire." from the Foreword to STONE LYRE, by Ilya Kaminsky, poet and author of DANCING IN ODESSA
