Les poèmes d'une vie perdue

Résumé du livre

Poetry. Bilingual Edtion. Translated from the French by Thomas Rain Crowe and Antoine Bargel. Hugh-Alain Dal probably lived in Paris during the first half of the 20th century. In the lineage of Rimbaud's Illuminations and Baudelaire's Paris Spleen, after the publication of his first poems, Dal seems to have disappeared from the literary scene. This begs the question: Did he die, or perhaps run away in a fashion similar to Rimbaud's poetic renunciation? He only left us his poetry--collected here under the title: THE POEMS OF A LOST LIFE, which is contemporary with Jean Genet Jacques Prevel and Antonin Artaud. Literary critic Jean-Michel Renaitour called Dal a major new literary voice upon the publication of his first book at the age of twenty.
