'Zone: Selected Poems of Guillaume Apollinaire' is the fruit of poet-translator Ron Padgett s fifty-year engagement with the great French poet s life and work. 'Zone 'provides an exciting experience of the full range of Apollinaire s poetry, from his traditional lyric verse to his avant-garde calligrammatic pieces, from often-anthologized classics to hitherto-untranslated gems, from visionary poems of cosmic breadth to a poem about his shoes. This volume includes an introduction by Peter Read, the finest Apollinaire scholar in the English-speaking world, as well as a preface, helpful endnotes, and an annotated bibliography by Padgett. There have been previous versions of Apollinaire, but this one is special, for it is not only a compact and judicious selection of the essential Apollinaire, it is also a feat of translation by an American poet about whom 'The Washington Post' said, No praise can be too high for Ron Padgett s translations.
