Hardcover.
First Edition, Limited to 1000 copies. Translator's Note by Elizabeth Zuba. Afterword for Maria Gillsen Broodthaers by Yola Minatchy.
A collection of works by Belgian poet and visual artist Marcel Broodthaers (1924-1976) including My Ogre Book (1957) and Midnight (1960)--two books of poetry previously unpublished in English--and an 80-image projection work, Shadow Theater (1973-74), published here in full for the first time. From the Translator's Note: "Taken together, these works provide an oblique projection of the fantastical concatenations of landscape that shaped the inquiry and practice of Broodthaers's oeuvre."
