Early Poems: 1947-1959

FROM THE PUBLISHER

This excellent translation of Bonnefoy's early poems represents an enormous contribution to contemporary poetry, serving as an introduction to the work of Bonnefoy for those unfamiliar with his poetry as well as further evidence of his mastery for those who know his work well.

FROM THE CRITICS

Booknews

The first English-language translation (by Galway Kinnell and Richard Pevear) of the second book of poems by one of France's leading poets. Bonnefoy is dedicated to poetry more as a means of spiritual illumination than as a technique for creating artistic monuments. He uses what he conceives to be the brokenness and poverty of language to enable us to glimpse a wholeness lacking, he feels, in our contemporary world. Annotation c.
