Joseph Rene Noyau (1911-84) was a Creolophone and Francophone Mauritian writer and poet who wrote under a number of pseudonyms including Jean Erenne which he used for the poems in this collection. Noyau lived and wrote at a crucial time in the history of the island of Mauritius. He was a passionately committed man of letters and a pioneer of personal and literary freedom in the march to an independent Mauritius. This book presents a selection of Noyau's poems in their original French and in English translation.
Noyau's life and work took place during a pivotal period in the history of Mauritius. He was a fiercely devoted man of letters and a trailblazer of personal and literary freedom in the quest for an independent Mauritius. This book offers a selection of Noyau's poems in their original French and in English translation.
There are numerous reasons to be captivated by Rene Noyau. He cannot be confined to any specific style or subject matter, oscillating between the earthy and the ethereal, frequently within the same poem. A devotee of the surreal image, exotic and startling, he is also capable of a raw clarity that drives home his meaning. Like many true artists, Rene was not the best caretaker or promoter of his work, and his native land was not entirely receptive to his force or originality. The present volume aims to reach an audience he might never have imagined, to be a recognition and a discovery for years to come, transcending age and cultural barriers.
