André du Bouchet (1924-2001) was one of the great writers of post-World War II France. Not only a groundbreaking poet, he was also a prolific translator from the English, German, and Russian, as well as an art and literary critic. Over the course of his life, he published nearly seventy volumes: from his dozens of collections of verse, to works on Giacometti and interdisciplinary collaborations with Miró, to translations of Faulkner, Shakespeare, Joyce, Pasternak, and others.
