Poetry. Translated from the French by Robert Majzels and Erin Moure. In NOTEBOOK OF ROSES AND CIVILIZATION, Nicole Brossard's gorgeous poems emerge in breathtaking English, translated by award-winning poets and translators Robert Majzels and Erin Moure. Brossard's luxuriant language and opulent imagery move languorously through the sensorium to find a place of rest that is both in and beyond language. "She questions everything. In exigent, painstaking poetry and prose, Nicole Brossard, Quebec's prize-winning postmodern feminist writer and theorist, wants to think 'thoughts that have never been thought, use words in ways they have never been used."-The Gazette
