Winner of the Th\u00e9ophile Gauthier Prize from the French Academy, Cassandra at point-blank range<\/i> is the first full-length translation of revered French feminist poet Sandra Moussemp\u00e8s<\/a><\/span>. Cassandra<\/em> channels and weaves the voices of heroines including Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Mary Shelley, Cindy Sherman, Gaspara Stampa, Virginia Woolf, Unika Z\u00fcrn, and Taeko Kono, as well as mythical figures like Lilith, Iphigenia, and Cassandra, to explore the depth of the Western feminine psyche. Through Moussemp\u00e8s\u2019 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 \u201cgiving body\u201d to Moussemp\u00e8s\u2019 work in English.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFrom within the galaxy of French poetics, Sandra Moussemp\u00e8s\u2019 work glimmers like the foreign body of a rare star\u2026.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013Liliane Giraudon, Author of Love Is Colder than the Lake <\/i>and Sphinx<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is something almost oceanic and tidal about the work of Sandra Moussemp\u00e8s. The formal expansion and contraction seems to mold to the way the theme of female embodiment runs across these poems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014Marissa Davis, Author of End of Empire<\/i> and My Name & Other Languages I Am Learning How to Speak<\/i><\/p>\n
