Description
Paris: A Poem is a daring and dynamic experimental long poem written by British writer Hope Mirrlees. Set on a single day in post-first world war Paris, this ambitious piece of modernist psychogeography brings alive the city's underground railways and grand boulevards through playful typography, collage and fragmentation.
Originally published in 1920 at the Hogarth Press, this celebratory centenary edition reproduces the original design of the first publication. It features an introductory foreword by Deborah Levy, as well as commentary by Julia Briggs who highlights Mirrlees's work as a lost masterpiece of modernism.
A unique and innovative work that showcases Mirrlees's bold style, Paris: A Poem is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in modernist poetry and the city of Paris at its most vibrant.
