'Pleasure,' Jennifer Moxley writes in her introduction to this volume, 'is the word that first comes to mind at the mention of Nicole Brossard's poetry.' This volume provides English-language readers with an overview of the life and work of Nicole Brossard, poet, novelist, and essayist, who is widely recognized in her native Quebec and throughout the French-speaking world as one of the greatest writers of her generation. Brossard's poetry is rooted in her investigations of language, her abiding commitment to a feminist consciousness, and her capacity for renewing meaning as a virtual space of desire. The reader enters a poetic world in which the aesthetic is joined with the political, and the meaning of both is enriched in the process. The selections in this volume include translations of some of Brossard's best-known works - "Lovhers", "Ultra Sounds", "Museum of Bone and Water", "Notebook of Roses and Civilization" - along with short prose works, an interview with Brossard, and a bibliography of works in French and English, and constitute the most substantial English-language sampling published to date of one of Canada's greatest living poets.

Carla Carlson is at the Hotel Clarendon in Quebec City trying to finish a novel. Nearby, a woman, preoccupied with sadness and infatuated with her boss, catalogues antiquities at the Museum of Civilization. Every night, the two women meet at the hotel bar and talk -- about childhood and parents and landscapes, about time and art, about Descartes and Francis Bacon and writing. When Yesterday, at the Hotel Clarendon appeared in French (as Hier), the media called it the pinnacle of Brossard's remarkable forty-year literary career. From its intersection of four women emerges a kind of art installation, a lively read in which life and death and the vertigo of ruins tangle themselves together to say something about history and desire and art.

""On strands of light I am hanging poetry like garlands."" These first words of poetry from Nicole Brossard anticipate the vast body of work she has published in the last four decades. The poems in Mobility of Light were chosen by Louise H. Forsyth to elicit a sense of these whirling garlands and convey the intense energy - physical, creative, spiritual, erotic, imaginative, playful, ethical, and political - that has carried Brossard to a uniquely significant vision of the human spirit. Poems are presented in French and English on facing pages, underscoring the density of meaning in each word and line and highlighting the unusual rhythms in Brossard's originals and the extraordinary sonorities with which they beat. Some of the translations in this volume have been previously published, while others are new. In her afterword, Brossard talks about travelling back in time to discover how our most vivid sensations, emotions, and thoughts are nourished and transformed by our enigmatic relation to language.

A bilingual collection of poems that offers a surreal perspective of urban experience. This bilingual edition of Nicole Brossard’s lyrical poetry is a sequence of lush, taut cityscapes. Known for her elliptical and materially grounded poetics, Brossard creates an intimate series of poems drawn loosely from urban experience. The poems comprise an evocative distillation of postmodern urban life with a sharp sense of cultural and gendered histories of violence and beauty and struggles for survival and intimacy. The poems capture the emotional and ecological surroundings of each city and its people. The cities in Brossard’s poems feel surreal and in them dwell survivors of “misfortunes,” living in urban landscapes with their “gleaming debris” and “bridges, ghats, / rivers in a time of peace and torture.” These poems gesture toward a transmuted social context and toward a quest “to meet the horizon the day after the horizon.”

Invited to a quiet Swiss château by the enigmatic Tatiana Beaujeu Lehmann, Anne begins to slowly write a novel in a language that is not hers, a language that makes meaning foreign and keeps her alert to the world and its fiery horizon.

Will the strange intoxication that takes hold of her and her characters – sculptor Charles; his sister Kim, about to leave for the far north; and Laure Ravin, a lawyer obsessed with the Patriot Act – allow her to break through the darkness of the world?

Fences in Breathing, first published and critically lauded in French as La capture du sombre, and now brought into English by the celebrated translator Susanne de Lotbinière-Harwood, is a disquieting, dexterous and defiant missive, another triumph by one of North America''s foremost practitioners of innovative writing.

The heat of summer on an earlobe, a parking meter, the shadow of crabs and pigeons under a cherry tree, an olive, a shoulder blade – in the poems of Nicole Brossard these concrete, quotidian things move languorously through the senses to find a place beyond language. Taken together, they create an audacious new architecture of meaning.
Nicole Brossard, one of the world’s foremost literary innovators, is known for her experiments with language and her groundbreaking treatment of desire and gender. This dextrous translation by the award-winning poets and translators Erin Moure (Little Theatres) and Robert Majzels (Apikoros Sleuth) brings into English, with great verve and sensitivity, Brossard’s remarkable syntax and sensuality.

"[Nicole Brossard] is a wholly singular writer, part of a larger movement of Québec Women''s writing, part of feminist writing, avant-garde writing, part of lesbian writing, but wholly, unequivocally, herself."—Sina Queyras
something like wait for mein the braille of scarstonight can i suggest a little punctuationcircle half-moon vertical line of astonishmenta pause that transformslight and breathinto language and threshold of fire
Even as vowels tremble in danger and worldly destruction repeats itself on the horizon, Ardour reminds us that the silence pulsing within us is also a language of connection. In these poems, intimacy with the other is another astonishment—a pleasant gasp, a "pause that transforms light and breath into language and threshold of fire." Since her first book appeared fifty years ago, Nicole Brossard has left us breathless, expanding our notion of poetry and its possibilities.

El desert malva és en primer lloc un relat breu, suposadament escrit per una autora desconeguda, que explica la frenesia amb què la Mélanie, una jove adolescent de quinze anys, afronta el xoc que representa acarar-se amb la realitat, a la recerca de respostes, per entendre qui és i per què la seva vida ha esdevingut la història d'una errància, una cerca embogida per tastar la llibertat a través del seu vagareig en automòbil, recorrent el desert d'Arizona a gran velocitat, enlluernada per una llum, puresa i solitud que la fascinen.Paral·lelament, s'hi entrecreua un enigmàtic "home llarg", un clar demiürg de la destrucció, responsable científic dels assaigs d'una nova bomba que s'està provant en el desert.Fascinada per aquest relat, una estudiosa descobreix el llibre i decideix fer un exercici d'exegesi per, finalment, traduir-la amb el títol de Malva, el desert.Publicat el 1987, El desert malva aviat es va convertir en un llibre de culte i, des d'aleshores, ha estat motiu de centenars d'assaigs d'interpretació fins a esdevenir un clàssic de la literatura quebequesa. L'obra també és una meditació sobre la traducció i una brillant posada en qüestió de la representació de la mirada crítica sobre la realitat: què són, com es relacionen, on es refugien la realitat i la ficció.

Vad är oundgängligt i feminismen? Detta är en fråga som infinner sig under en av de sammankomster som, med början 1983, äger rum en söndag varannan månad i Montréal, på inbjudan av poeten, prosaisten och essäisten Nicole Brossard. Brossard, Gail Scott, Louky Bersianik, Louise Dupré, Louise Cotnoir och France Théoret möts för att samtala om feminism, litteratur och skrivande. Men det är först när denna fråga ställs – Vad är oundgängligt i feminismen? – som tanken på en bok tar form: Teori, en söndag. I Teori, en söndag besvarar varje författare frågan ur sitt eget perspektiv i en teoretisk reflektion, följd av en skönlitterär text där de idéer som formuleras prövas, förskjuts och får ny gestalt. I mötet mellan teori och fiktion undersöks språkets möjligheter, begärets former, den kollektiva erfarenheten och skrivandets politiska kraft. När Teori, en söndag utkommer 1988 blir boken snabbt en klassiker inom den feministiska litteraturen i Québec. Genom att låta teori och litteratur mötas bortom det akademiska språkets gränser öppnar den ett nytt rum för feministiskt tänkande och skrivande. Teori, en söndag är en fortsatt intensivt levande uppmaning till kollektiv reflektion som med en sällsynt öppenhet och experimentlusta visar hur tänkande kan ta form i litteraturen. Boken publicerades ursprungligen på franska som La théorie, un dimanche, les Éditions du remue-ménage, 1988

”Jag installerar mig i min kropp / för att kunna agera / när en kvinna ger mig tecken” ”ett oändligt ja i rörelse dess energi” Nicole Brossard, bosatt i Montréal, har sedan debuten vid mitten av 1960-talet skrivit ett fyrtiotal böcker – poesi, romaner, essäer – och mottagit ett flertal prestigefyllda litterära priser. Hon är också medgrundare till de quebekiska litteraturtidskrifterna La Barre du Jour och La Nouvelle Barre du Jour. Hennes verk utforskar, i brant förkortning, feminism, kropp, begär och språk. I de exakt och omsorgsfullt uppbyggda – men samtidigt subversiva, transgressiva och visionära – korta dikter som utgör Installationer (med eller utan pronomen) från 1989, möter vi med stark intensitet detta som ständigt, och med en så stor rörlighet, återkommer hos Brossard: ett begär i kombination med en oavbruten reflektion över språk, kropp och feminism. Installationer är en bok där kritiken av den patriarkala logiken och arbetet för att skapa andra öppningar och rymder utstrålar en komplex energi, ett slags dynamiskt lugn, ett euforiskt betraktande, en hänförelse och glädje som inte utesluter sorg och smärta. Boken publicerades ursprungligen på franska som Installations (avec et sans pronoms), Les Écrits des Forges, 1989

In this collection, fingers, lips, fists, cheeks mingle in the palm trees of Dublin and Key West, the heat of Palermo and Madrid. With each dazzling turn and each “crazy” silence, Brossard speeds our breath and quickens our hearts, reminding us that poetry too is both a physical and spiritual reality.Museum of Bone and Water, a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award, is recognized as a major work in the oeuvre of leading Québécoise poet, novelist, and essayist Nicole Brossard — recently honoured with the Lifetime Recognition Award by the Griffin Trust for Excellence in Poetry.

Nicole Brossard's lucid, subversive and innovative work on language has influenced an entire generation of readers and writers. But three of her seminal works of postmodernism and feminism have been lost to us for years. The Blue Books brings them back. A Book: A novel about a novel; five characters in "search of a narrative, a narrative in search of an author." Brossard's first novel, and a key work in Canadian postmodernism. Turn of a Pang (Sold-out in French): Quebec's 1943 Conscription Crisis and the 1970 War Measures Act weave together to form the texture of a woman's life. French Kiss: a celebration of the energy of women and language in the face of the male authorities of Montreal politics and the physical authority of the printed (and bound) word. The Blue Books collects these three long-out-of-print, groundbreaking Brossard titles, in their original Coach House Press English translations (A Book by Larry Shouldice, Turn of a Pang and French Kiss by the acclaimed Patricia Claxton). Don't be blue: these Brossard classics are back!

Tillfälligt slut
First published in 1987, Nicole Brossard's classic novel returns to Coach House in a new edition. A seminal text in Canadian and feminist literature, Mauve Desert is a must-read for readers and writers alike. This is both a single novel and three separate novels in one. In the first, Mauve Desert, fifteen-year-old Melanie drives across the Arizona desert in a white Meteor chasing fear and desire, cutting loose from her mother and her mother's lover, Lorna, in their roadside Mauve Motel. In the second book, Maudes Laures reads Mauve Desert, becomes obsessed with it, and embarks on an extraordinary quest for its mysterious author, characters and meaning. The third book -- Mauve, the horizon -- is Laures's eventual translation of Mauve Desert. Like all good translations, it is both the same and revealingly different from the original. Nicole Brossard's writing is agile and inventive; from moment to moment gripping, exhilarating and erotic. Her language drifts and swells like sand dunes in a desert, cresting and accumulating into a landscape that shifts like wind and words; she translates the practice of translation, the pulse of desire.

Tillfälligt slut
The definitive survey of an essential feminist poet.In June 2019, Nicole Brossard was awarded the Lifetime Recognition Award from the Griffin Poetry Trust. Rarely has a prize been so richly deserved. For five decades she has writing ground-breaking poetry, fiction, and criticism in French that has always been steadfastly and unashamedly feminist and lesbian.Avant Desire moves through Brossard’s body of work with a playful attentiveness to its ongoing lines of inquiry. Like her work, this reader moves beyond conventional textual material to include ephemera, interviews, marginalia, lectures, and more. Just as Brossard foregrounds collaboration, this book includes new translations alongside canonical ones and intertextual and responsive work from a variety of artist translators at various stages of their careers.Through their selections, the editors trace Brossard’s fusion of lesbian feminist desire with innovation, experimentation, and activism, emphasizing the more overtly political nature of her early work and its transition into performative thinking.Devotees of Brossard will be invigorated by the range of previously unavailable materials included here, while new readings will find a thread of inquiry that is more than a mere introduction to her complex body of work. Avant Desire situates Brossard’s thinking across her oeuvre as that of a writer whose sights are always cast toward the horizon.
