At the Louvre
Anthology
Translated by Antoine Caro, Edwin Frank, Donatien Grau
At the Louvre is an anthology of Various poetry, translated by Antoine Caro, Edwin Frank, Donatien Grau, published by New York Review of Books, Incorporated, The in 2024. It is an anthology-like volume centered on art, museum space, looking, and the strange intimacy of standing before images. As an anthology, it turns the Louvre from institution into encounter, asking how poems respond when the visual world has already spoken first. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can be felt. Start with the pressure of the title, the texture of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. For this library, the book matters as more than a record of Various; it is an invitation to let poetry remain particular, difficult, and alive without asking it to behave like explanation.
