Michael Edwards' new collection consists of 92 poems forming a single long poem that recounts the finding of another world in moments, often dramatic, sometimes everyday, which become doorstones, thresholds.
After studying at Cambridge, where he is now an Honorary Fellow of Christ’s College, Michael Edwards taught at the then ‘New Universities’ of Warwick and Essex (where he succeeded Robert Lowell), before being elected the first British Professor at the Collège de France, Paris. Early volumes of poetry and critical works appeared in England; he then turned to French, for further volumes and numerous books continuing to explore the form of Christianity: Eden-Fall-Heaven, or Life-Death-Resurrection, as illuminating the nature and finality of literature, language, painting, music. He has given poetry readings and lectures in Europe, North America, Africa and the Middle East. The first Briton elected to the Académie française, he was knighted in 2014. He lives in Paris and Burgundy.
* New collection comprised of 92 poems forming a single long poem recounting the finding of another world in captured moments * Also includes Doorstones, an additional full collection continuing from At the Brasserie Lipp. * These poems are illuminated by and in dialogue with a running retelling of the Saul and David narrative in the Bible * This collection is an adventure, touched with humour, irony and unexpectedness in the unceasing quest for meaning and for change and newness in the world and the self * Also a meditation on the act of writing, on poetry as a sign of newness and change
'At the Brasserie Lipp, I am convinced, represents contemporary English poetry at its best' - Igor Vishnevetsky, Russian poet and film-maker
