Description
Ghérasim Luca's Self-Shadowing Prey is a surrealist masterpiece that explores the complexities of language with precision and rigor. This poem is characterized by its innovative use of neologisms, verb-nouns, and repetitive linguistic expansions, which blur the boundaries between words and meaning. Through its exploration of language as an erotic act, Self-Shadowing Prey reveals the poet's unique ability to create a sense of stuttering and stammering that is both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating. Translated into English for the first time, this bi-lingual edition offers readers a rare opportunity to experience Luca's work in its original form. Mary Ann Caws' translations bring out the full range of Luca's poetic genius, capturing the essence of his unique style and conveying it with passion and precision.
