                          "And the drum is ready

                                        when gladioli crown

                                        the horns of the delivered calf

                                        who bounds

                                        and grazes the hills of  grass.

 

                                        There it will resound,

                                        and its incantations will become dreams ...

Lascaux Editions is proud to be the publisher of the first complete English translation of Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo's Translated from the Night.  Rabearivelo (1901-1937) is widely considered to be Africa's first modern poet. Touted as "a pure African surrealist", Rabearivelo's remarkably original work fuses European urban surrealism with his own bucolic surroundings in Madagascar.  Confined to his island while under French colonial rule - forbidden by the authorities to travel - Rabearivelo communicated with the rest of the world through his brilliantly imaginative poems.

Enjoy reading a masterpiece of 20th century lyric poetry, in this inspired translation by Robert Ziller.
