One of the shared enterprises of modern French philosophy, an enterprise which certain currents already contradict, has been to attack the logocentricity which is typical of French educated culture, and so of French poetry; how poets have assimilated or occupied this campaign, I do not know.
The title "new French poetry" is absurd, since several of the culprits began publishing in the 1950s; the jacket's claim that "much of the poetry shows an affinity with the work of Henri Michaux" is ill-founded.
The cover refers to rigorously ontological poetry, but one cannot help quipping that it is self-indulgently ontological.
