This publication may be one of the high points in recent poetry. Jabes is a true explorer of his mediumthe chronicler of the outsider's odyssey through the 20th century. His beautifully cryptic vision marries mysticism, surrealism, and the "new" semiotics. The long poems are powerful evocations of anxiety and longing, comparable to Breton and Lamantia; emotion and vocabulary reach a pitch in poems like "Slumber Inn": "The world loses its waterfalls/ its dawn bells of granite/ An image to skim in all directions/ with its coins of flame." Yet his is also an incomparable aphoristic style: "Sex is always a vowel." As an international poet, Jabes is a force to consider.
Edmond Jabès (Cairo, 1912 – Paris, January 2, 1991) was a Jewish writer and poet, and one of the best known literary figures to write in French after World War II.
