Kelly (French and comparative literature, University of Limerick, Ireland) divides his exposition of twentieth-century France poetry by location: common place, upper place and no place (Utopia). Kelly follows the passage from one space to the next in three poets, Segalen, Daumal and Bonnefoy. The work emphasizes the constant tension between creator and creation as well as situating the work within a viable space while not confining it to an absolute definition.
