Poetry. Translated from the French by Thomas Rain Crowe and Nan Watkins. Published in France in 1951 and appearing here for the first time in exquisite English translations that capture the poignancy of the originals, thirty years of poems chronicle the passionate and turbulent marriage of two famed writers. This volume also reproduces the eight drawings by Marc Chagall that appearing in the original, many of them of the poets themselves. "It may well be that Goll will be remembered for these poems. Their simple visionary grace, the ease with which they build a spiritual moment out of commonplace, almost conventioanl, images, make the love poems unique in modern poetry"--Paul Zweig.
