SPITTING DISTANCE. (PARTS I AND II: ORIGINAL POEMS. PART III: TRANSLATIONS.) (FRENCH IMPRESSIONISTS, SYMBOLISTS)

A collection of poems dealing with sociocultural themes is developed in three segments: personal heredity and environment, correlations between the past and present through painting, and translation of two major symbolist poets. The first section stresses the problems involved in growing up and living in a bilingual culture that is at once American and French. The second section explores the milieu of the artist in a series of French Impressionist paintings. The third section investigates the work of Baudelaire and Rimbaud in their vision of the world through the use of the imagination as perceived by a present-day poet for today's reader of poetry. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 45-07, Section: A, page: 2097. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1984.
