Interlude

Robert Marteau was one of France’s great poets, and Interlude took his prose-poetry aspirations to a new level of innovative complexity exploring myth in culture.

A traveller, in fresh pursuit of old truths, moves through the moraines of time and space picking up stones and words, and in both he discovers stories about the beginning of being. The marvellous and true, the pedantic and profound, intermingle and make anew the old mysteries of Annunciation, Visitation, Birth, Adoration, Nutrition, Journey, Parables, Passion, Death and Resurrection, Ascension and Life.
