Product Description
"Cool, postmodern," in the words of Kevin Hart.Armand's first published volume of prose explores -- by means of a rigorousexperimentation -- the relations between "psycho-geography" and"geo-psychology"; between the stability and instability of place, personalityand perception. In the verbal setting of"The Garden" (with its echoes of Bosch, Eden, the classical "forbiddengarden" or the"Perfumed Garden" of Arabian literature), figures mesh in a half-light ofmemory and desire. The text moves fluidly between the exotic and the banal, the archetypallygeneral and the minutely specific. Sometimes compared to the work of Claude Simonand Alain Robbe-Grillet, Armand's "unpunctuated" prose is lessabout the construction of imagistic or verbal ambiguity, than it is a way of"writing with" the ambiguities that exist already in the world, by virtueof the fact that the world is something "experienced." It is for thisreason that Armand's language always remains "concrete," the language"tangible" -- it is not about experiences but the experience itself. ... Read more

Product Description
Bringing together poetry published during the last six years,Strange Attractors is the most recent and extensive collection by the Prague-basedaward winning writer Louis Armand. Armand's themes shift between New York cityscapesand the Moroccan desert; from dissections of contemporary aesthetics, philosophyand politics, to reflections on human intimacy, the sympathetic faculty and violence.Among the most prolific and widely received poets of his generation, Armand'swork has been described by Miroslav Holub as luminous with verbal innovation andcritical insight.

Huron Vocabularies
This is a small volume (69 pages) comprising several glossaries and prayers in the Huron language, a few fragments of the related Neutral language (of which little is known), and letters from missionaries regarding the Huron people. The letters are dated and tiresome stuff, but the linguistic material, while slight, comprises most of what is known today about this unfortunately extinct Iroquoian language. ... Read more

Armand, an exciting and risk-taking young Australian poet who delights in stretching language and technique in uncharted directions to electrifying effect.. The critic Susan Schultz writs: "Armand is a landscape poet with a difference - he knows the 'fundamental questions' are those of locality, and he poses them with an intellectual acuity and integrity, and in singular language(s) that assert pluralism and always refuse the 'seductions of amnesia'. ...
