Marie-Claire Bancquart's work explores, primarily through the vulnerabilities and sensitivities of the body (hence this book's 'carnal' title), the possibility of releasing a cry: a salvation of language and spirit from indifference, abstraction and dehumanisation, a celebration of a moment's reunion with the recreative vitality of the physical universe, an act of love in its most private yet cosmic expression. Bancquart has described her language as a 'braille of the living' minimal, interrupted and riddled with obscurities and gaps of the unsayable, but apprehending the world and composing its significance in a singularly tactile translation. This study will appeal to those keen to discover one of the most original voices of present-day European poetry, the distinctive poetic resonances of one of its most self-aware and vibrant female sensibilities, and the provocative orientations of 'new writing' traversed by the dilemmas and paradoxes of our own era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584986955927,"sku":"9789042023666","price":10783.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789042023666.webp?v=1774958649","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/in-the-flesh-of-the-text-the-poetry-of-marie-claire-bancquart-9789042023666","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
