A legend of 19th century French Canadian poetry, Émile Nelligan was only 16 when he fell under the influence of Baudelaire and Rimbaud and began writing taut, confidently surrealistic poems, shot through self-lacerating melancholy. Three years later, when a mental collapse led to his life-long institutionalization in 1899, he had already produced an impressive body of work. Translating Nelligan's "essential" poems, along with a sharp introduction contextualizing his legacy as one of the "first poets to write openly about suicide, neurosis, and psychological breakdown," Marc di Saverio has given us a rivetingly fresh version of Nelligan for a new generation. | Ship Of Gold by Émile Nelligan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
