Synopsis
Poetry. Translated from the French by Cole Swensen. The word "oxo" means, literally, "a bouillon cube," and this book of fine, spare poetry becomes a conceptual cube-- seven sections of seven poems, with each poem composed of seven lines of seven syllables. At the same time, the inclusion of Suzzan Doppelt's seven photographs render it a kind of "flip-book" of verbal and visual snapshots of life in contemporary Paris: its tourists, its homeless, its politicians, its TV news, its pigeons, and its poetry. "studied or not the gesture/ with which she laces up her/ naked back and calves baked on/ the beach evokes the damsel/ victim across the railroad/ tracks of thes silent slap with/ a stick on the ass slapstick"-- from 'vacationer.', Poetry.

    Book arrived as described and I appreciate the fast shipping and secure packaging that delivered an already fragile book in readable condition. Good value and I thank you so much for the smooth transaction!

    Very good ebay seller! My books arrived quickly and were packaged very well. Communication was excellent from them as were the descriptions of the books. I will definitely be doing business with this seller again. The only thing that I might suggest is to start combining shipping, but the cost was still fairly reasonable and not stupidly high.
