The Collected Poems of Édouard Glissant

Author: Édouard Glissant

Publisher: University of Minnesota Press (2019)

This volume collects and translates—most for the first time—the nine volumes of poetry published by Édouard Glissant, one of the great writers of the twentieth century. The poems bring to life what Glissant calls “an archipelago-like reality,” partaking of the exchanges between Europe and its former colonies, between humans and their geographies, between the poet and the natural world.
