Argumentaire :

James Sacré, who was born in 1935 on a farm in western France, has published over one hundred books in ordinary editions and at least as many art books. His poems have appeared in the most important literary magazines in France and he has been awarded half a dozen major prizes for his poetry. Lire la suite
He is also, said one critic, the only contemporary poet whose work can be found in every public library in France. While many of Sacré's poems have been translated into English, some in magazines or anthologies in the US, Canada and the UK, some in small art books in France, this is the first time that a whole volume of his poetry is finally appearing in English along with a companion volume of the French original. Some Objects Stay with Us (Or the Other Way Round) is translated by David Ball, whose versions of Henri Michaux and Jean Guéhenno won prizes for outstanding literary translation.
