"In Charlestown Blues, poet and translator Marilyn Hacker has chosen a tightly thematic selection of poems, all centering around the notion of "blue" - the color and the emotion, as well as that quintessentially American style of musical performance. Hacker's English renderings will show Anglophones why Goffette is considered one of the most important poets writing in French today."--BOOK JACKET.
