"...a moving and often brilliantly insightful act of
homage...Throughout this important and original book, she brings
her critical acumen - as well as respect and affection - to bear on
the achievement of her friend and mentor. Any reader who has not
yet entered Jab�s' unique oeuvre - too often reputed to be abstruse
- now has the key."--John Taylor, Paths to Contemporary French
Literature
"Lavish Absence is a comprehensive yet intimate introduction to the
writing and thought of Edmond Jab�s, a critical figure for
20th-century poetry and philosophy. It is also a welcome
articulation of Rosmarie Waldrop's own poetics, which are among the
most influential in contemporary American poetry."--Charles
Bernstein, Director of the Poetics Program, State University of New
York at Buffalo
