In this bilingual edition, celebrated poet W.S. Merwin selects and translates the best poetry from nine books by French poet Jean Follain. Follain’s poems are “miniatures” that reveal a sense of the monumental pressures of history encountered in a moment. Through these incandescent translations, his sparse portraits are powerful revelations of mortality as glimpsed in a passing glance.
