Description

Scansion of the Dark is Anthony Rudolf's translation of Michele Finck's sequence Balbuciendo, showcasing both the original French and the translated English. The poems are sombre and uncompromising, dwelling in permanent crisis, drawing inspiration from suffering and loss while yearning for transcendence. Finck, through Rudolf's exquisite translations, weighs up an answer to Rilke's pertinent question from Letters to a Young Poet: "Would you die if you were forbidden to write?"

Author Biography:

Michèle Finck is a poet, critic, translator, librettist, screen-writer, and professor at the University of Strasbourg. She received the Prix Louise-Labé (2015) and the Prix Max-Jacob (2018) for her poetry. She often collaborates with artists (painters, musicians, cineasts, choreographers). She has published essays on contemporary poetry (Yves Bonnefoy) and on the dialogue between poetry and other arts. A special number of the electronic magazine Nu(e) was devoted to her work in 2019 (number 69, 400 pages), edited by Patrick Née. Since 1969 Anthony Rudolf has published poetry and prose, the latter including fiction, memoirs, art and literary criticism, politics and war studies. He has translated books, mainly poetry, from the French, Russian and other languages. He has also translated art books. His literary essays include texts on authors as diverse as Balzac, Byron, Borges, George Oppen and Primo Levi, and on poetry written in extreme situations. He has written widely on visual artists, including Paula Rego, R.B.Kitaj and Charlotte Salomon.
