Really enjoyed this version ofJean Et Jeanne well realised..Well done, and have saved into favourites and you are right to compare with Lowell's The Old Flame. Many thanks.
Bonnefoy and Lowell are both favourite poets. France has produced an incredible array of outstanding poets from Baudelaire onwards and the States have done pretty well too with Eliot, Stevens, Lowell, Plath and Anne Sexton. A golden Age for both! i translated Bonnefoy's Hic Locus est Patriae too. Thanks for you comments, Kevin.
