Unearthing the Oldest Poetry: A Journey into the Ice Age Caves of Lascaux. This Carcanet Classic unveils a groundbreaking collection of poetry translated from the Lascaux caves, offering a glimpse into the minds of early humans. Edited and translated by Philip Terry, this volume presents the French versions by Jean-Luc Champerret, a linguist who deciphered the cave signs, opening a window into a previously unknown world of Ice-Age expression.

Explore the mysteries of prehistoric art and culture through Champerret's interpretations of the cave signs, which he inserts into 3 x 3 grids to create startling poetic forms. This collection is for readers interested in poetry, archaeology, and translation studies, offering a unique perspective on the origins of human creativity. Discover the challenges and rewards of translating ancient symbols into modern verse, and contemplate the rich symbolism and oral traditions of the Ice Age.
