This book contains a collection of short stories, my labor of love; I've honed to my satisfaction. There's love stories, mystery stories, humorous stories and I'm sure that some of the content will bring a tear to the readers eye.
During my life-time I've seen much violence and corruption which I have attempted to tone down by humanizing in my writings, to remove the ugliness, or at least make light of it and in some instances turn it into humor.
Life isn't all glamour, it's not simple, it's complicated; nor is life predictable. Life is harse and sometimes we have no control...

The traits that characterize the "language" of French Symbolism are the center of these essays. In interpreting major or previously neglected compositions by Mallarme, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Claudel, Valery, and Apollinaire, the author shows how each of these poets worked with the elements that distinguish this influential group of writers as a whole.

Although Rene Char's distinctive voice has brought him to the forefront of contemporary French writers; his complex poetry has remained virtually inaccessible to the general reader. In this book an eminent authority on French literature describes Char's evolution and, through close readings, offers a clear and rewarding introduction to the poet's oeuvre.

James Lawler first traces Char's growth by delineating the myth that has guided his poetry for forty years. While the Surrealists exerted an early influence on the writer, his work diverged from theirs as he gave voice to a more...

James R. Lawler's elegant introduction deals with Valery's concerns and his influence, and also with critical interpretations of his work. The volume begins with "The Evening with Monsieur Teste" (1896), from the famous "anti-novel" Monsieur Teste, for whose translation Jackson Mathews received the National Book Award in 1974. It includes such notable essays as the "Introduction to the Method of Leonardo da Vinci," "The Crisis of Mind," and "Poetry and Abstract Thought."

The importance of Valery's prose poetry has only recently been recognized, and a selection is presented here....

Poems ranging from "La Jeune Parque" and "Le Cimetiere marin" to occasional and light verse written as letters to friends, dedications in books, and inscriptions on ladies' fans demonstrate the wide scope of Valery's lyric preoccupation. The bilingual edition, with David Paul's English translations facing the French texts, includes the autobiographical "Recollection," quoted below, and excerpts on poetry, selected and translated from Valery's notebooks by James Lawler.

Paul Valery turned to the discipline of poetry during the First World War, to escape from the "commotion of a world...
