By (author): Robert Melancon Robert Melanon

Translated by: Judith Cowan

In the 144 poems of For as Far as the Eye Can See, Robert Melancon re-imagines the sonnet as a rectangle of twelve lines, and poetry as a monument as fragile as the grass. Impressionistic, seasonal, allusive, in language sharp and clean, this form-driven collection is both a book of hours and a measured meditation on art, nature, and the vagaries of perception. Robert Melancon is one of Quebec's most revered contemporary poets and a two-time winner of the Governor General's Award. A longtime translator of Canadian poet A.M. Klein, Melancon has been the poetry columnist for Le Devoir and the Radio-Canada program En Toutes Lettres; he is also a critic and has been a professor at the University of Montreal. In addition to the Governor General's Award he is a past recipient of the Prix Victor-Barbeau and the Prix Alain-Grandbois. See more
