{"title":"Jacques Dupin","description":"\u003cp\u003eJacques Dupin (1927–2012) was a French poet, art critic, and gallery director closely associated with surrealism and the work of Joan Miró. Born in Privas, Ardèche, he worked at the Galerie Maeght in Paris for decades and became a foundational figure in postwar European poetics. His major collections include Gravir (Gallimard, 1963), L'Embrasure (Gallimard, 1969), and Echancré (P.O.L., 1991). His verse is characterized by spare, fragmented language and a sustained engagement with silence, stone, and the body. Dupin also wrote definitive critical studies on Joan Miró, Alberto Giacometti, and Antoni Tàpies. His work has been translated into English and is considered essential to understanding the French postwar lyric.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"selected-poems-jacques-dupin-us","title":"Selected Poems Jacques Dupin (US)","description":"In this volume, Paul Auster has selected prose poems and lyrics from five volumes of Dupin's poetry published over a quarter-century. Sharing affinities and landscapes with Reverdy, Char, and Ponge, Dupin has developed, nevertheless, a poetry so distinctive and innovative to the American ear and eye that it could, especially with this selection, tincture the reading and writing of poetry in the United States. Eschewing theory, he creates speculations that enact the self's effacement, while sustaining the human in brilliant imagery and shadowy narrative. In her introduction to these poems, Mary Ann Caws writes, \"Nothing is permitted a reach higher than the human. The very precariousness of living informs this deeply moving poetics, quiet and always at risk.\"","brand":"Jacques Dupin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43793348198442,"sku":"9780916390525","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/selected-poems-jacques-dupin-us-3623555.jpg?v=1762150108"}],"url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/collections\/jacques-dupin.oembed","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
