Description
The Dice Cup is a groundbreaking collection of prose poems that redefines the boundaries of poetry. First published in 1917, it stands alongside other foundational works of prose poetry and continues to influence writers today.
Max Jacob's unique style blends dream accounts with playful prose, thumbing its nose at traditional poetic conventions. The result is a work that is both mystical and burlesque, consciously constructed yet unstable and unfixed like the poet's own personality.
This collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of Max Jacob, a key figure of the Cubist era and bohemian Montmartre. With its shifting style and dream logic, The Dice Cup is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in experimental poetry and the avant-garde movement.
