With Death, an Orange Segment Between Our Teeth

Marie-Claire Bancquart (1932-2019) was a prolific and prize-winning French poet, novelist, essayist, and critic. In her poetry, she combines an erudite vocabulary and references to classical literature with an earthy sensibility and a fascination with experiencing the smallest moments of everyday life fully. The deceptive simplicity of her poems lays bare the mysteries underlying the world we inhabit and our very existence. Wendeline A. Hardenberg's careful and skillful translations are sure to broaden the audience for this significant poet as yet too little known outside of France.
