Amers
Amers is a collection of poetry by French writer Saint-John Perse, published in 1957. Perse won the Nobel Prize in Literature three years later.
The title means "sea marks" ; it possibly puns on the French amer, "bitter", perhaps meaning "briny" here, and has echoes of mer, "sea".
Amers was ranked #97 in Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century.
