| A Matter of Blue
| | Jean-Michel Maulpoix
| “In A Matter of Blue, we read that blue is what we would like to cultivate, something that clings to bees’ feet and the poet’s lips, something that can be used as a basis for composition or creation, something that is inherent in the gaze of the dark-eyed women . . .”—Dawn Cornelio
A Matter of Blue is the most successful book by Maulpoix, author of over 25 French collections of poetry and the rightful heir to the 150-year tradition of French prose poetry.
Jean-Michel Maulpoix (www.maulpoix.net) is director of a quarterly literary journal and professor of poetry at University Paris X-Nanterre.
Dawn Cornelio wrote her PhD thesis on translating Maulpoix. She is assistant professor of French studies at University of Guelph, Ontario.
