Edouard Glissant
Edouard Glissant is one of the foundational figures of Francophone literature. Along with other writers from the French West Indies, he inaugurated a radical interrogation of the French literary canon from the margins of the traditionally Paris-centered literary world. His books include "Black Salt: Poems and Poetics of Relation," which was also translated by Betsy Wing.
