Description
Still radical, the poems of Francis Ponge seek to give the things of the
world their due. Impatient with the usual baggage of literary
description, Ponge attends to a pebble, a washpot, an eiderdown, a
platter of fish, with lyrical precision; playing with sounds, rhythms
and associations of words, he creates wholly new objects - 'but which
may be more touching, if possible, than natural objects, because human'
('My Creative Method').
