Under the Azure

The work of Francis Jammes, one of France's great poets, is spiritual and attachingly personal. Jammes sang of his mountains, of the waterfalls, the sheep and the shepherds; he sang of his love for life, of his lovers, and his humility before the Divine. In this highly sensitive and poetic translation, American poet Janine Canan brings to English speaking readers, what is to date, the most extensive collection of Jammes' work in the English language.
