French Guiana
Hailed by Milan Kundera as an heir of Joyce and Kafka, Prix Goncourt winner Patrick Chamoiseau is among the leading Francophone writers today. With most of his novels having appeared in English, this book opens a new window on his oeuvre. A moving poetic essay that bears witness to the forgotten history of the French penal colony in French Guiana, French Guiana—Memory Traces of the Penal Colony accompanied by more than sixty evocative color photographs by Rodolphe Hammadi and translated, here for the first time, deftly by Matt Reeck.

Hysteria
Antipoetry can be described through its key features, and these characteristics define Kim's poetry as well: a deliberately prosaic tone and form, an interest in spoken language, and the use of irony. In \"Night Traveler 2,\" the speaker casts doubt upon the presumed goal of poetry- communication: \"Communication? What communication? I try to go deep, but I'm barely a few centimeters in\" However you put it, this sentiment is an effective measure of the reader: while \"deep\" and \"shallow\" are riddled with too much bias to communicate much, what a reader wants from poetry is questioned, and, equally, what reactions to poetry are considered legitimate enters into consideration as well.
