James Lawler first lines Char's development by means of delineating the parable that has guided his poetry for 40 years. whereas the Surrealists exerted an early effect at the author, his paintings diverged from theirs as he gave voice to a extra own perspective towards nature and artwork, to a refashioned poetics and proposal. the writer indicates how Char's improvement culminates within the visionary symbolism of "La Paroi et los angeles Prairie," within which wall and prairie epitomize the unresolved rigidity of his mature writings.
Throughout his readings, Professor Lawler vitamins shut textual research with attention of thematic, mythological, and ethical parts of the poetry, discussing every one point because it illuminates the character of Char's sensibility. "The ten brief poems [of "La Paroi et l. a. Prairie"] are common in their author," he writes, "and paradigmatic of a piece that could be a summit of French poetry when you consider that Valery and Apollinaire."
