This edition, containing an extensive introduction, notes, the French original, and a new translation of Cesaire's poetry - the complex and challenging later works as well as the famous Notebook - will remain the definitive Cesaire in English.
"Aime Cesaire has found his voice in English. Thanks to the meticulous translations by Clayton Eshleman and Annette Smith in their very handsome bilingual edition, readers can now judge for themselves the talents of one of the most powerful French poets of this century, who has been neglected for too long." * New York Times *
". . . handsomely produced . . . it is a major work of translation, and Eshleman and Smith have excellently served the man and poet they so evidently admire." * Modern Language Review *
". . . an unusually handsome edition . . . Césaire may therefore now finally get the exposure he deserves." * World Literature Today *
