Books by Yves Bonnefoy

This book offers an outstanding retrospective collection of the master of 20th-century photography, Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Following on from 2017's celebrated Poems, this is a wide-ranging selection of Bonnefoy's essays on literature, art and life.

"'Poâesie et photographie' was originally delivered as the Lezione Sapegno for 2009 at the University of Val d'Aoste, The text of that lecture was subsequently published by Nino Aragno of Turin, Italy. The present version is a greatly amended and developed version of the original lecture, which it supersedes."--Page [vi].

Yves Bonnefoy's book of poems, Beginning and End of the Snow followed by Where the Arrow Falls, combines two meditations in which the poet's thoughts and a landscape reflect each other.

Since the publication of his first book in 1953, the author has become one of the most important French poets of the postwar years. This English translation of his celebrated work "L'Arriere-Pays", takes us to the heart of his creative process and to the very core of his poetic spirit.
