Hammer With No Master [Paperback]

In his foreword to Stone Lyre, Nancy Naomi Carlsons previous collection of Ren? Char translations, Ilya Kaminsky praised the intensity, the dream-like language, the gravity of tone, and the constant impression that one is reading not words in the language, but sparks of flames.

Stone Lyre was a selection of poems from Chars numerous volumes of poems; Carlsons new Hammer with No Master is a discrete and continuous work, the first English translation of Chars Le marteau sans ma?tre, first published in 1934  a time of rumbling menace that our time resembles.
