Poetry. Art. Film. Translated from the French by Mary-Sherman Willis, these sparkling prose poems originally published by Jean Cocteau in 1953 seem written yesterday. Lively, irreverent, and surreal, each page leaves the reader breathless and laughing. Bilingual: French / English. Jean Cocteau was a poet, novelist, playwright, filmmaker known for classic films such as Beauty and the Beast and Orpheus, but whatever the genre, all of his creations were essentially poetry. In this bilingual edition of GRACE NOTES, Cocteau's wit, surrealism, and radical vision of the world are as timeless and shocking as when the book was published. And Mary-Sherman Willis's fluid translation will let you enjoy every gloriously ornamental note. --Jesse Lee Kercheval GRACE NOTES was published in the early 1950s, yet how fresh, even stylish, these prose poems are today, sparkling like little jewels. They are as ephemeral as a fleeting glance, or a hint of flavor on the tongue. They move by the music of the language (French), and by Cocteau's flights of fancy as well as by his obsessions. Undoubtedly they are clever. But they are also funny and tragic. You are about to enter Cocteau's capricious world. Prepare to be dazzled. --Barbara Goldberg

Art and Faith: Letters between Jacques Maritain and Jean Cocteau is a collection of personal correspondences between two influential figures of the 20th century - the French philosopher Jacques Maritain and the artist Jean Cocteau. The letters, spanning over two decades, reveal a deep and enduring friendship between the two men, as well as their shared interest in the intersection of art and spirituality. Throughout the book, Maritain and Cocteau engage in a lively and thought-provoking dialogue about the role of art in society, the nature of creativity, and the relationship between faith and modernity. They discuss their own artistic endeavors, including Cocteau's films and Maritain's philosophical writings, and explore the ways in which their work reflects their spiritual beliefs. The letters are arranged chronologically, providing a fascinating glimpse into the personal and professional lives of Maritain and Cocteau during a tumultuous period in European history. They touch on a wide range of topics, from the rise of fascism in Europe to the role of the Catholic Church in modern society. Art and Faith offers a unique perspective on the intellectual and cultural landscape of the early 20th century, as well as a profound meditation on the enduring power of art and faith in human life. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, art, and spirituality.

Original illustrations by Jean Cocteau and Andrzej KlimowskiTwo of the seven monologues by Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) in this edition were written for Édith Piaf. The other five were written for Cocteau’s friend, the celebrated actor Jean Marais, to perform on radio. Although perhaps a minor part of Cocteau’s output of films, plays, poems and ballet scenarios, these exquisite miniatures remain a fascinating form of his dramatic expression. Georges Feydeau (1862-1921) is best known for his enduring farces, such as A Flea In Her Ear, yet he wrote over 20 monologues for actors to perform at charity concerts and in fashionable drawing rooms. The six included in this volume were written over a period of 16 years from 1882. Peter Meyer’s translations of eleven of these monologues were commissioned by the BBC and performed on radio by leading actors including Eileen Atkins, Jill Bennett, Richard Briers, Judi Dench, Alec McCowan and Timothy West. The Liar and I Lost Her have been newly translated for this volume.
