{"product_id":"the-days-ration-9781911469421","title":"The Day's Ration","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor Gilles Ortlieb, the day's ration is hard won. He takes the art of noticing to a new level, petrifying us with moments of bleakness and ushering us out of them through his humanity. He states things as they are, with exactitude, with authenticity, with humour, and his voice is compelling. Ortlieb is among the very best poets writing in France today, and this bi-lingual selection of his work will cement his growing reputation in the anglophone world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A poet of uprootedness and displacement, with a uniquely gentle and rueful wit.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'It is no disservice to Gilles Ortlieb not to place him among the \"visionaries\".
