IN THE GLOOM ON THE LEFT, poems by Joyce Mansour, translated by Molly Bendall. (21 pages, paper. Toad Press/Veliz Books, 2022. $6.00)
Joyce Mansour (1928-1986), of Egyptian origin, wrote primarily in French and was associated with the Surrealist movement. She published over a dozen collections of poetry from 1953 through the 1980’s. Her poems combine a feral eroticism along with a sly sense of humor, bringing a defiant new female voice to the latter stages of the Surrealist scene. The translations here cover several decades of her work.
