French Poetry in Bilingual Editions

Translated by Peter Dale

Tristan Corbière: Wry-Blue Loves Corbière (1845–75) was virtually unheard of in his short lifetime. He.delighted in clashing registers of diction and outrageous puns; his poems are full of self-mocking humour. Peter Dale has added a selection of uncollected poems to the complete Les Amours jaunes.

Poems of Jules Laforgue

Peter Dale captures Laforgue’s panache in this substantial selection from one of the most entertaining of French poets. ‘[Dale] conveys much of the letter of the original as well as the spirit. . . . The collection is hard to over-praise’ – D. J. Enright, The Observer

Paul Valéry: Charms and other pieces Charmes, first published in 1922, contains several of Valéry’s most famous poems, including ‘Le cimetière marin’. The collection has achieved classic status as the finest work by the finest modern French poet, somewhat neglected but now revived in English.
