商品描述
Musician Lizzy Mercier Descloux's kaleidoscopic foray into collage and poetry, translated and reprinted for the first time in 50 years. Desiderata is a collection of Lizzy Mercier Descloux's poetry, photos, and diaristic fragments from her visit to New York City in the winter of 1975. Only eighteen at the time, Descloux fell into the orbits of the nascent No Wave scene festering in Lower Manhattan, where she befriended Richard Hell, Patti Smith, and ZE Records founder Michel Esteban.
Desiderata charts the musician's early ambitions as a writer, revealing a potent poetic voice that careens from acid-tinged social observations to outright Dadaist semantic revelry, interspersed with collages and hand-written notes. Originally composed entirely in French, this is the first time these works have ever appeared in English and this edition includes the original French facsimile bound tête-bêche with the new English translation.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
音樂家 Lizzy Mercier Descloux 的萬花筒般的拼貼與詩歌探索，50 年來首次翻譯與再版。
《Desiderata》是 Lizzy Mercier Descloux 的詩歌、照片和日記片段的合集，記錄了她在 1975 年冬季訪問紐約市的經歷。當時只有十八歲的 Descloux 陷入了正在下曼哈頓醞釀的 No Wave 場景，並與 Richard Hell、Patti Smith 以及 ZE Records 創辦人 Michel Esteban 成為朋友。《Desiderata》描繪了這位音樂家作為作家的早期抱負，展現出一種強烈的詩意聲音，從帶有酸性色彩的社會觀察到徹底的達達主義語義狂歡，並穿插著拼貼和手寫筆記。這些作品最初完全用法語創作，這是它們首次以英語出現，且本版包含原法語的對摺版與新的英語翻譯。
