André du Bouchet (April 7, 1924 – April 19, 2001) was a French poet. == Biography == Born in Paris, André du Bouchet lived in France until 1941 when his family left occupied Europe for the United States. He studied comparative literature first at Amherst College and then at Harvard University. After teaching for a year, he returned to France. Here Du Bouchet became friends with the poets Pierre Reverdy, René Char, and Francis Ponge, and with the painters Pierre Tal-Coat and Alberto Giacometti. Du Bouchet was one of the precursors of what would come to be called "poésie blanche" or "white poetry." In 1956, he published a collection of poems entitled ''Le Moteur blanc'' or "The White Motor". In 1966, he, along with (among others) Yves Bonnefoy, Jacques Dupin, Louis-René des Forêts and Gaëtan Picon, founded the poetry revue ''L'Ephémère''. Twenty issues were published from 1966 to 1973. In 1961, Du Bouchet's first major poetry collection, ''Dans la chaleur vacante'', was published to critical acclaim and he won the Prix de la critique (the Critic's Prize) for that year. He also wrote art criticism, most notably about the works of Nicolas Poussin, Hercules Seghers, Tal-Coat, Bram van Velde and Giacometti, and translated works by Paul Celan, Hölderlin, Osip Mandelstam, Boris Pasternak, Laura Riding, William Faulkner, Shakespeare and James Joyce. In 1983 he won the National Poetry Prize or "Prix national de la poésie". André du Bouchet died in 2001 at the age of 76, in Truinas, Drôme, France. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「André du Bouchet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
