Guy Goffette (born 18 April 1947) is a Belgian-born poet and writer.〔http://www.servicedulivre.be/fiches/g/goffette.htm〕 Goffette published his first book of poems in 1969.〔http://www.espritsnomades.com/sitelitterature/goffette/goffetteguy.html〕 Since then he has worked as an editor at the publishing company Gallimard. Goffette's poetry has been compared to Verlaine (of whom Goffette has written a fictional "biography") - the contemporary French poet Yves Bonnefoy remarked Goffette is an heir to Verlaine. A poet who very courageously has decided to remain faithful to his own personal life, in its humblest moments. He keeps things simple, he is marvelously able to capture the emotions and desires common to us all. Goffette is without question one of the best poets of the present moment in France.〔http://www.amazon.com/Charlestown-Blues-Selected-Poems-Bilingual/dp/0226300749〕 Goffette's short fiction (récits) often reimagine historic figures - the poet Paul Verlaine in ''Verlaine d'ardoise et de pluie'' (1995) and again in ''L'autre Verlaine'' (2007) or the painter Pierre Bonnard through his muse Marthe in ''Elle, par bonheur et toujours nue'' (published in English as ''Forever Nude'' in 2008). For several years, the American poet and critic Marilyn Hacker has translated a number of his poems, which have appeared in The Paris Review, TriQuarterly, Barrow Street, and Poetry London. A bilingual anthology of her translations of Goffette's poetry, ''Charlestown Blues '', was published in 2007 by University Of Chicago Press In addition to his poetry and his fiction, Goffette is a prolific essayist and a critic who regularly contributes to the Nouvelle Revue Française. ==Awards== * 1989 Mallarmé prize for ''Eloge pour une cuisine de province'' * Grand Prix of the Académie française. * 2015 International Literary Award Novi Sad (International Novi Sad Literature Festival) 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「Guy Goffette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
