Translated into English for the first time, the collected poems of Max Blecher—the lone volume of poetry published in his lifetime, Transparent Body, along with verse published in periodicals and posthumously—add important color to Blecher's body of work, most clearly displaying his early surrealist tendencies, as well as illustrating key moments in his prose works, as readers will find allusions and callbacks to his three novels. This volume is bilingual, with the original Romanian on the facing pages.
