Laforgue, Jules, 1860-1887. Berlin, the city and the court. Translated and with an introduction by William Jay Smith ; photographs by Simone Sassen. New York: Turtle Point Press, 1996, ix, 220pp., small PAPERBACK, cover price $13.95, very good. "Jules Laforgue's Berlin is a delectable book, and William J. Smith's translation conveys all its lucid irony and sparkling detail." (Richard Wilbur). - Jules Laforgue, who has been called the "French Keats" and whose work greatly influenced T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and James Joyce, went to Berlin in 1881 as French reader to the Empress Augusta, a descendent of Catherine the Great. Written shortly before his death from tuberculosis at age 27, Berlin, la cour et la ville was not published until 1922 and is still little known in France. This first complete English translation of an important lost work is a brilliant example of what Jacques Barzun has called the poet's "visual reportage". It presents a precise picture of what everyday life was like in Berlin in the 1880's. Like his friend Seurat, Laforgue shows us what people did, what they wore, what they ate, what they saw and heard. He paints memorable portraits of the leading court personalities and pays special attention to the Prussian military, the power of which permeated every aspect of life. - William Jay Smith, the translator, was Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress 1968-1970 (a post now called Poet Laureate). In 1991 he was awarded a medal by the French Academy for his translations of French poetry. 9781885983022 ISBN 1885983026.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Laforgue is exuberantly translated and contextualized by poet and academic Ford . [His] vivid imagery and wild energy should not be missed." --Publishers WeeklyLargely unread yet one of the most influential forces on modern literature, Jules Laforgue was a brilliant French poet whose work was cut short by his untimely death at 27 years old. Praised by Pound as "a father of light," Laforgue has been overshadowed by the many poets he influenced--from Apollinaire to Prevert, Eliot to Joyce--until now. In this bilingual edition, Lunar Solo: Selected Poems, acclaimed poet and translator Mark Ford achieves in English the playful, wild and entertaining style of Laforgue's poetry. Generally acknowledged as the inventor of free verse, Laforgue is part-symbolist, part-impressionist and wholly unique.Jules Laforgue (1860-87) was born to French parents in Montevideo, Uruguay. Following the outbreak of war between Uruguay and Paraguay in 1866, he was sent to school in Tarbes in the southwest of France. Almost all of Laforgue's poetry was written while he was employed as French Reader to the Empress Augusta at the Imperial Court of Prussia from 1881 to 1886. During his lifetime he published only two volumes of poetry, Les Complaintes (1885) and L'Imitation de Notre-Dame la Lune (1886). Generally acknowledged as the inventor of vers libre or free verse, Laforgue has proved enormously influential on many writers, in particular on the modernist poets T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. The 'first passion' of T. S. Eliot and a major influence on Pound, the poet, translator, essayist, and travel writer Jules Laforgue has nonetheless broken through only fitfully into the Anglophone literary consciousness. If there is any justice in the world, this astute selection, in Mark Ford's deft, inventive, reader-friendly versions, will finally give the man his due.
