It introduces English-speaking readers to some of the best French poetry written by women over the last twenty years. Martin Sorrell has chosen a selection of work from seventeen distinctive and diverse poets, and provided lively facing-page verse translations, poems in their own right, alongside the originals. Martin Sorrell's Introduction situates the poets in their context and discusses the issues which confronted him as compiler and translator, not least as a man responding to creative work written by women. Each poet introduces herself with an essay on her conception of poetry and her own position as a writer. These biographical pieces are published in French and in an English translation. There is also a selected bibliography for each poet. The Afterword, by Jacqueline ChEnieux-Gendron - Director of Research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris, and a leading specialist in modern French literature - is also published in French and in an English translation. The poets represented in ELLES are Marie-Claire Bancquart, Christiane Baroche, Genevieve Bon, Claude de Burine, AndrEe Chedid, Louise Herlin, Jeanne Hyvrard, Leslie Kaplan, JosEe Lapeyrere, Jo-Ann LEon, Anne Portugal, Gisele Prassinos, Jacqueline Risset, Amina Said, Sylvia Baron Supervielle, Marguerite Yourcenar, CEline Zins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Elles' introduces English-speaking readers to some of the best French poetry published by women over the last twenty years.
