#334: Book of poems by Jacques Roumain: BOIS D'EBENE / EBONY WOOD
>From Bob Corbett:
I thought I had all of Jacques Roumain's works which have been translated
into English. However, today's mail brought me a lovely copy (though
well-worn, makes me feel comfortable)of a 1972 book of poetry:
BOIS D'EBENE / EBONY WOOD. Translated by Sidney Shapio and published in
New York by Interworld Press, 1972. The translation is from a 1945
French original.
Do others of you know this work in either this translated version or
in the French original? Any particularly interesting background? I
wonder why this would be the first time it ever turned up for me in all
these many years of searching for Haiti material. Any ideas?
