Hammer with No Master: Poems of Ren? Char (French and English Edition)

In his foreword to Stone Lyre, Nancy Naomi Carlson's previous collection of Ren? Char translations, Ilya Kaminsky praised "the intensity, the dream-like language, the gravity of tone, and the constant impression that one is reading not words in the language, but sparks of flames."

Stone Lyre was a selection of poems from Char's numerous volumes of poems; Carlson's new Hammer with No Master is a discrete and continuous work, the first English translation of Char's Le marteau sans ma?tre, first published in 1934 - a time of rumbling menace that our time resembles.
