Used book – Le Parti pris du monde, Collective

Listening to "the violins of limousines," treating oneself to "waffle pistols," escaping to "islands nestled like jaguars," or contemplating New York's "blue metal eyes"... This anthology, which brings together 22 poems by major 20th and 21st-century authors, is an invitation to journey into the strange and familiar territories of contemporary poetry. The most mundane tool can become fodder for poetry, an oyster can symbolize the universe, a love song can denounce the invasion of modern life by objects... Whether nostalgic or enthusiastic, serious or humorous, contemporary poets resolutely take the side of the world, with one motto: to disrupt our vision of reality.
