douard Glissant's most celebrated, scintillating philosophical work - which sets out a new poetic vision for the world

'We cry our cry of poetry. Our boats are open, and we sail them for everyone.'

In Poetics of Relation, his most celebrated philosophical work, douard Glissant turns the Caribbean reality of his life into a complex, energetic vision of a world in transformation. We come to see that relation in all its senses - telling, listening, connecting, and the parallel consciousness of self and surroundings - is the key to revolutionising mentalities and reshaping societies. We are not rooted, but ever-changing; we have a right to opacity and to difference, wherever we are. Told in scintillating prose, this unique exploration of language, slavery, and poetic freedom narrates an Antillean identity, but also that of the whole world.
