Tristan Tzara

Lee Harwood

Chanson Dada contains all the poems of legendary Dada Poet Tristan Tzara (1896-1963) translated by English poet Lee Harwood. Begun in 1963 with Tzara's enthusiastic approval, the translations are selected from the full range of Tzara's published works, from those informed with the rebellious impulse towards absolute artistic freedom and the 'destruction' of formal language, to those concerned with the human act of struggle, and with political and moral affirmation.

Crossing the Frozen River

Lee Harwood's poetry has always been characterized by an openness and generosity of spirit and a precise, evocative use of language. Ranging from the savage historical sweep of "Dreams of Armenia", to poems of quiet contemplation, the poems of Morning Light show Harwood at his most diverse and accessible. Some of these poems have appeared in Grand Street, New American Writing, and Exact Change Yearbook.
