Blood And Feathers Selected Poems

Jacques Prevert's poems have impressed generations of both young and old readers. This new edition has been revised and expanded to include four new poems. Prevert is the quintessential French romantic without being cloying or melodramatic. He did write the screenplay to one of the classic romantic films, Les Enfants du Paradis. He uses a vast array of literary allusions, memories of the Resistance and dazzling puns but the writing remains simple, direct and unpretentious. Prevert's lyricism, wit and satire are to be savored. His work has inspired such singers as Yves Montand. Many of his poems have become the lyrics of songs.Prevert, Jacques is the author of 'Blood And Feathers Selected Poems', published 2007 under ISBN 9781559213479 and ISBN 1559213477.
