With Paris as a backdrop, Cole, an award-winning American poet, explores with fresh and penetrating insight the nature of friendship and family, poetry and solitude, the self and freedom. Cole writes of Paris, “For a time, I lived here, where the call of life is so strong. My soul was colored by it. Instead of worshiping a creator or man, I cared fully for myself, and felt no guilt and confessed nothing, and in this place I wrote, I was nourished, and I grew.” Written under the tutelary spirit of Orpheus—mystic, oracular, entrancing—\u003ci\u003eOrphic Paris \u003c\/i\u003eis an intimate Paris journal and a literary commonplace book that is a touching, original, brilliant account of the city and of the artists, writers, and luminaries, including Cole himself, who have been moved by it to create.","brand":"Cole, Henri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337149804818,"sku":"9781681372181","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/9238\/5846\/files\/17510873482786_75f0e86a-b71b-4de7-82d3-cba38aa48710.jpg?v=1780434373","url":"https:\/\/hbswarehousesale.com\/products\/orphic-paris-paperback","provider":"Harvard Book Store Warehouse Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
