A new perspective on critically-acclaimed poet Ron Padgett.

The Tallness of Moonlight is at once a celebration of Padgett's decades-long translation work and his particular taste in avant-garde poetics. Spanning millennia and the globe, this anthology of translations pays special attention to the French greats: Apollinaire, Gautier, Mallarmé, Cendrars. From prose poems to visual poems to theatrical scenes, Padgett's collection is a love letter to the act of translation itself.
