Description: St.-John Perse, the pseudonym of French poet Alexis Lager, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1960 for "the soaring flight and evocative imagery of his poetry." Anabasis, "Perse's masterpiece...is the union of two kinds of poetry, epic and lyric. It deals not only with migration and conquest but with the founding of the city... It is a poem not of power, though the imagery of power is impressive, but of exploration." (Ronald Gaskell, the London Magazine). "Major work of modern poetry." --New York Times "For some critics, Saint-John Perse is the embodiment of the French national spirit: intellectual yet passionate, deeply conscious of the tragedy of life, a man of affairs with an artist's feeling for perfection and symmetry."
