Exploring the lives and works of poets René Char and George Oppen, this book delves into their early recognition within the surrealist and objectivist movements, respectively. It highlights their unique paths shaped by the social upheavals of the 1930s and '40s, including Oppen's radical political commitment and Char's involvement in the Resistance. Their mature poetry emerges as a blend of love, meditation, and encounter, reflecting their personal and artistic journeys in response to the tumultuous times they lived through.
