Finalist: Best Translated Book Award

Co-translated with Rod Smith

"In reading [The Invention of Glass] one is reminded of those French poets of the last forty or fifty years that really matter, especially Ponge and Char, without feeling like what one is reading is derivative of those writers. "
—Brandon Holmquest, Best Translated Book Award Finalist Citation

"Within and against the opacities of the abyss, structure and naming order and clarify. Transparent aspects of The Invention of Glass are due in large part to Hocquard’s elegant and simple structure.”—Karla Kelsey
