Francois Jacqmin Livres

Featuring a collection of short, deceptively simple poems, this title focuses on our relation to the austere beauty and elemental power of the midwinter scene.

Francois Jacqmin is one of Belgium's most influential poets of the twentieth century. This twelfth collection of his poems is inspired by a bleak and beautiful natural landscape, where the falling snow gives rise to a sequence of 112 short poems which are both lyrical and suffused with irony, allusion and paradox.
