A new fantasy novella by Jamie Lackey



The Forest God, incarnated into the body of hare, ready to die and live again.

The Apprentice Witch, outcast and unwanted, unsure of her path.

The Young Lord, frivolous and rootless, inconsiderate of his duties.

Their three souls should be bound to a cycle of death and sacrifice, responsibility and rebirth.

But the bonds lie broken and shrouded in mystery. The wood remains in precarious balance for now, but the village withers.



Only together, can they set things right.

Species of Night

poetry by Todd Sanders



catalog number: aan10.18



SOLD OUT



Reviewed in the April 2011 Pittsburgh Magazine:



"Todd Sanders is perhaps best known for his translations of the French Surrealist poet Robert Desnos; however, in Species of Night, he allows his own muse to roam free. A small book of quiet yearning, Species of Night descends upon the reader like a velvet fog. Lines such as these from the poem 'Umbra' nearly sigh in the reader's ear: 'I had you once. Among the birds, among the blue / glass. I felt your shade there upon my hand.' A sad dreaminess is pervasive; lovely poems of emotional depth appear on every page."

Mythmaking collects Robert Desnos' mythologically themed poems - Le Fard des Argonauts (1919), Minotaure (1930), Bacchus et Apollon (1942), Le Satyr (1942), and the extended poem Le Bain avec Andromède (1944) - several of which appear in English for the first time.



These poems span the writing career of Robert Desnos, from his early beginning as a founding Surrealist through the 1940's when he joined the Resistance against the Vichy Government and wrote poetry opposing the German Occupation of France.

from the back cover ...

Robert Desnos' 1943 poem Calixto, companion to the 1944 collection Contrée, was published in a complete edition by Gallimard in 1962. Calixto is a poem of resistance, epic in scale, combining a narrative language of classicism and Greek mythology with the argot of 1940's Paris. In a world peopled with prostitutes and explorers, victims and murders, Desnos fuses together a poetic elegy, a cry in the darkness against evil unleashed on the world.



Also appearing in this volume is Notes Calixto, notes and commentary written by Desnos in the margins of Calixto during its creation.





"Inspiring in this skillful English translation by Todd Sanders as it is in the original French, Calixto conveys Desnos's vivid portrayal of a changeable figure eager to encourage human beings to cling to their lives and their humanity in the face of tremendous odds."

- Katharine Conley - Author of The Marvelous in Everyday Life: Robert Desnos, Surrealism, and French Culture

Christened Youki, Japanese for 'pink snow', Lucie Badoul lived in Montparnasse in the 1920's and 30's where she was a model for, and later wife of, the Japanese painter Tsuguharu Foujita.



On October 31, 1931, after a long and stormy relationship with Youki, Foujita left for Brazil, leaving her the following farewell note - 'I don't have any more strength to fight in Paris .... Let me have the simple life which I dream of .... You now have a faithful friend, Robert .... who has taken my place and for him you are the dearest person in the world.'



The poems in this volume have been taken from two collections that Desnos wrote for Youki: The Secret Book for Youki composed in November of 1932, and selections from 1930 Youki Poèsie, completed in 1934.



These are love poems for Youki as well as poems about what it means to love.

Robert Desnos (1900-1945) was one of the Surrealist movement's leading poets, praised by Andre Breton for playing a "necessary, unforgettable role." Combining humor and pathos, dreams and reality, Desnos work is typified by its verbal techniques and independent spirit. In 1930 he broke from the Surrealists and for a decade wrote motion picture and radio scripts, including the highly successful Complainte de Fantomas (1933). Arrested for his activity in the French Resistance, he was eventually deported to Czechoslovakia and died of typhus shortly after his camp was liberated.
