The Day's Ration: Selected Poems by Gilles Ortleib, translated by Patrick McGuinness & Stephen Romer
WINNER of the Scott Moncrieff Prize for translation
For Gilles Ortlieb, the day’s ration is hard won. He takes the art of noticing to a new level, petrifying us with moments of bleakness and ushering us out of them through his humanity. He states things as they are, with exactitude, with authenticity, and with humour and his voice is compelling. Ortlieb is among the very best poets writing in France today, and this bi-lingual selection of his work will cement his growing reputation in the
anglophone world.
