Yves Bonnefoy and Jean-Luc Nancy

This volume explores how poets use different kinds of formal experimentation to change the way we think, to allow us to try out new ways of perceiving existence and positioning ourselves within the world. It studies how Bonnefoy experiments with the bodily and material forces that are at play in language in order to challenge our sense of detachment from the world and to encourage us to perceive our existence in a more interconnected way.
