Featuring 150 poems, this strong collection explores Roubaud's many poetic modes. Comprised of 150 poems, with a title taken from Charles Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs du Mal", Jacques Roubaud skips from the strict form of the sonnet to the freedom of prose poetry without abandoning the melancholy playfulness that has defined his lengthy writing career. A selection of 10 previously untranslated work, "The Shape of a City" contains a wide variety of forms and tones that work together to describe not only Paris, but also its people, its writers (and those of Oulipo in particular), its monumental past, and its unsteady response to change.

Note: this is a general synopsis. Each listing is further described below.
