The Gentle Genius of Cecile Perin: Poems: 1906-1956 by Cecile Perin (English) Pa

Description: The Gentle Genius of Cecile Perin by Cecile Perin, Norman R. Shapiro, Liana Babayan Despite limited bibliographical resources available on Perins life, we are fortunate to have an impressive body of work that provides us with sufficient material to embrace fully her talent and confidently identify her as an important femme de lettres. For contemporary readers, this work gives a renewed access to the world of female imagination in the mostly male-dominated field of early and mid-20th-century French poetry. Her images of female sexuality, free and uncensored, are placidly combined with descriptions of nature and human emotions-not overly romanticized-to create a harmonious and warm verse, candid and genuine, yet no less profoundly artistic. Rich and diverse, Perins poetry is still to be discovered by a larger audience. For someone with an extensive body of work such as hers, it is almost inconceivable that most contemporary readers have never heard of Cecile Perin and her poetry. The present volume, The Gentle Genius of Cecile Perin, gathers poems from all her nineteen published collections, written between the years 1906-1956. Norman Shapiros remarkable translation gives English-speaking readers and scholars an opportunity to savor fully Perins remarkable work.

Despite wide popularity and respect in France, at a time when women poets were often neglected, her poetry is almost unknown in the United States. Norman R.
