Review Quotes: Henri Meschonnic, 'the great Absent of the 21st-century study of language, poetics and translation', is made vividly and urgently present in this scrupulously prepared selection of thematized extracts. And the contexts of Meschonnic's thinking are sympathetically explored in introductory essays which ensure that the reader enters the debate fully equipped.--Professor Clive Scott, University of East Anglia
