Despair Has Wings by Pierre Jean Jouve
A collection of Gascoyne's poems and Pierre Jean Jouve's essays.
Pierre Jean Jouve (1887-1976) is regarded in France as one of the twentieth century's greatest poets. His work as a poet, novelist, critic and translator, influenced that of Pierre Emmanuel and Yves Bonnefoy in France, and David Gascoyne in England. In spiritual crisis in the 1920s Jouve disowned all his previous writing. Renewing his Catholic faith and pursuing his preoccupation with Freud (he married Blanche Reverchon, a psychoanalyst, in 1925) and the mystics, he entered his vita nuova . Noces (1928) and his translations (with Pierre Klossowski), Poemes de la folie de Holderlin (1930), preceded his most significant poetry collections: Sueur de sang (1935); Matiere Celeste (1937); Kyrie (1938). During that period, he established his reputation as a novelist with Paulina 1880 (1925), Le Monde desert (1927) and Vagadu (1930).
