The Anchor Anthology of French Poetry by Angel Flores
First published in 1958, this collection introduced an indispensable corpus of Western poetry to countless American students, Francophiles, and would-be poets, among them Patti Smith, whose introduction to this edition testifies to its epochal impact on her own career. The poetic and cultural tradition forged by the symbolist poets featured herein--Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Apollinaire, and others--reverberated throughout the avant garde and countercultures of the twentieth century. Surrealism, modernism, abstract impressionism, and the Beat movement all find their roots in the examples of these poets and their theories of art. With translations by Richmond Lattimore, W. S. Merwin, Richard Wilbur, and Louise Varèse, this rediscovered gem is sure to inspire a new generation.
Angel Flores also edited the Anchor Anthology of German Poetry and Anthology of Spanish Poetry, Nineteenth Century French Tales and Nineteenth Century German Tales. Patti Smith's discography includes such groundbreaking albums as Horses and Easter, and she is the author of three books of poetry.
