Description
A delightful collection of poetry by the internationally acclaimed Jacques Roubaud, La forme d’une ville change plus vite, hélas, que le cœur des humains lets us discover the hidden corners of Paris as the poet guides us on a veritable walking tour of the city, dedicating sonnets to each arrondissement along the way. His charming and playful style would undoubtedly strike a chord among American readers, who seem to have an insatiable love affair with the City of Lights.
