Mum is Down
Poetry. Translated from the French by Simone Fattal and Cole Swensen. MUM IS DOWN is Oscarine Bosquet's second collection of poetry to be translated into English. "MUM IS DOWN is at once a harrowing work and, by the sheer integrity of its agonistic confrontation with the unthinkable, a profoundly redemptive one. The unswerving poetic force of her language proves yet again that Bosquet stands among the most formally audacious and humanly perceptive poets of her generation in France." Michael Palmer"
Communities of Sense
Communities of Sense argues for a new understanding of the relation between politics and aesthetics in today’s globalized and image-saturated world. Established and emerging scholars of art and culture draw on Jacques Rancière’s theorization of democratic politics to suggest that aesthetics, traditionally defined as the “science of the sensible,” is not a depoliticized discourse or theory of art, but instead part of a historically specific organization of social roles and communality.

Review of Two Worlds
"The conference documented by the present volume grew out of the research and writing of Guy Bennett and Beatrice Mousli's Chartine the Here of There: French & American Poetry in Translation in Literary Magazines, 1850-2002, a book which chronicles the on-going history of Franco-American literary exchanges. One of the untold stories of that history is that the poets themselves are chiefly responsible for it, often editing, translating, and publishing themselves are chiefly responsible for it, often editing, translating, and publishing the poetry of their French or American colleagues in journals to which they either contribute or edit themselves. This being the case, we thought it would be enlightening to bring together a number of poets and translators currently involved in this exchange and ask them to share their views on the subject, discuss their practice, and read their work."--Publisher's website.
