Follain's short, down-to-earth poems will pleasantly surprise any reader who thinks modern French poetry is difficult.
Christopher Middleton, the distinguished poet and translator, has chosen poems spanning Follain’s entire writing life, and has written an illuminating introduction to his elegant translations. Jean Follain was born in Canisy, Normandy in 1903. He studied law at Caen and in Paris, passing his bar exams in 1927 before entering legal practice. In 1951 he was appointed an Assize Judge for the Ardennes region. He continued to live in Paris until his death in a street accident in 1971.
