Through Moussempès' imagistic, layered poetics, readers encounter the corporality of being a woman among women and of making poetry with women, a process that this edition, translated by Carrie Chappell and Amanda Murphy, continues by \"giving body\" to Moussempès' work in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Translators' Note: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaw and rigorous, Moussempès' approach to language, which rejects poetry as a precious world and sees it rather as an empowering universe, is ever more essential in today's world and in English. Through her words, women can coin themselves and their own reality. As allies in the endeavor, we have translated her text in minding this promise to women's voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarrie Chappell and Amanda Murphy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParis, February 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 302\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46227123404935,"sku":"9781956921465","price":37.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/8U60Dza82l9781956921465.webp?v=1792313474","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/cassandra-at-point-blank-range-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
