«El partit pres de les coses» is the work of poetic prose by Francis Ponge, published by Días Contados in paperback, in Catalan.
Francis Ponge takes the side of things: he distances himself from the human gaze and describes them from their own materiality. Everyday objects and natural elements are observed with poetic meticulousness; it is language that grants them a new presence. A brief work of reflective prose.
Translation by Joaquim Sala-Sanahuja of the original «Le Parti pris des choses»; 2009 edition that includes «Raons per viure feliç (1928-1939)» and an interview with Philippe Sollers from 1967.
For readers of poetry and reflective prose, with an interest in contemporary French literature and in the philosophical observation of everyday life.
Francis Jean Gaston Alfred Ponge was a French poet. He developed a form of prose poem, minutely examining everyday objects. He was the third recipient of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 1974.
