β¦ Synopsis
In the 144 poems of For as Far as the Eye Can See, Robert MelanΓ§on re-imagines the sonnet as a ''rectangle of twelve lines,'' and poetry as ''a monument as fragile as the grass.'' Impressionistic, seasonal, allusive, in language sharp and clean, this form-driven collection is both a book of hours and a measured meditation on art, nature, and the vagaries of perception.
Robert MelanΓ§on is one of QuΓ©becβs most revered contemporary poets and a two-time winner of the Governor Generalβs Award. A longtime translator of Canadian poet A.M. Klein, MelanΓ§on has been the poetry columnist for Le Devoir and the Radio-Canada program En Toutes Lettres; he is also a critic and has been a professor at the University of Montreal. In addition to the Governor General's Award he is a past recipient of the Prix Victor-Barbeau and the Prix Alain-Grandbois.
