Walter Bruno

Picture
With a background in theater and cinema, Walter Bruno writes about arts, performance, communications, politics, and the follies of identity, mostly from a contrarian perspective. An admirer of early modernism, he favors Beckett, Stein, Milosz, Szymborska, Balzac, G B Shaw, McLuhan and Harold Bloom. Bruno's work includes poetry, essays, short stories and a novella. While his poetry is mostly lyrical, he occasionally has a hard edge and doesn't play it safe.

A Head in Bad Times

Picture
Non-Fiction, Commentary

Provocative shorter essays on politics, the campus, identity, discourse, art, performance, and society. These essays join 42 reviews of major and minor films, in both the popular and art-film repertories, with a stress on formalism and how criticism can be distanced from personal or even political bias.

Picture
Poetry

The poetry of an older man. Twenty-three new poems complement 2 earlier chapbooks, including one prize-winning poem, for a total of 67 titles. Some poems hover on a gay perspective. New poems mix the philosophical and lyrical, formal and prosaic, with a wide variety of styles.

Two English Girls and the Continent

Picture
Novel

A translation of the work by H-R Roché. This lyrical and epistolary novel inspired François Truffaut's classic film of the same title. Bruno's translation is the first into English. The original was penned by the author of Jules et Jim.​

Am I That Far?

Picture
Poetry

The bulk of this collection was created during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, and some poems are steeped in the mood. Most, though, pass through the eternal reflections of a life left in tow and in regret.

As usual, Bruno manages to find the laughter. This edition features a fresh and exciting translation of Arthur Rimbaud's classic Le Bateau ivre, which Bruno has also re-titled in good and faithful English.​
