Absolutely love your stuff dude <3 I'm currently compiling a bunch of quotes/ poems that remind me of some oc's I have and the story they're a part of and there's one part that I'm really struggling to find stuff for. One of the oc's has had their memory wiped for forgot their oldest friend. Basically, the vibe is "I'm sure I've forgotten something, but I can't remember what (and maybe it would be better to not know what it is)". Wondering if you'd have anything following that theme? Thanks a bunch!

Ten Poetry Books from the French

Gearing up for World Poetry Day later this month I thought I’d share a list of some of my favourite poetry books from the French by writers from Africa, Europe and the Americas.

A Crown of Violets by Renée Vivien, translated by Samantha Pious

When it comes to French sapphic writing I prefer British-American writer Renée Vivien’s contributions as a poetess much more than her other examples of writing. If possible, read in French as translating poetry is one of the hardest tasks. I feel like with Vivien, who chose French to express herself at the beginning of the 20th century after all, English just doesn’t quite measure up. Maybe that’s just the way her writing speaks to each individual—ever one of choice, spirit, and style. Fortunately, this book is a bilingual French/English selection of her poetry.

A Rain of Words: A Bilingual Anthology of Women's Poetry in Francophone Africa, translated by Janis A. Mayes

Published in 2009 this anthology edited by Professor Irène Assiba d’Almeida showcases the work of 47 writers born between 1924-1974 (plus a few poems taken from an anthology in 1999 that lack author bios) representing 12 countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Togo, plus both the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Congo. Prefaced with some introductory background as well as a compelling translator essay a reader can begin to understand the significance of Francophone poetry in Africa by women.

Aux Banquts du Diable/At the Devil’s Banquets by Anise Koltz, translated by John F. Deane

A woman whose pen has power, Anise Koltz is a treasure of European poetry who has won recognition in several countries. Born in Luxembourg in 1928 she has made use of three languages (German, French and Luxembourgish) in her decades spanning work. But originally writing in German she turned to expressing herself in French after her husband’s early death, contributed to by torture he underwent during the Nazi occupation. This bilingual collection of her French poetry covering subjects such as mothers and children, writing and God takes from titles published in the 1990s.

Calazaza’s Delicious Dereliction by Suzanne Dracius, translated by Nancy Naomi Carlson

With her lyrical words spanning poetry, plays and prose novels Suzanne Dracius is one of the most versatile and enchanting authors. Of mixed heritage born in Martinique, raised in Paris, and making her home back again, along with an academic career as a professor of classical literature, she has won numerous awards for her writing. Dracius’ first poetry collection originally published in 2009, translated ever delicately is presented in French, Creole and English.

Eustache Deschamps Selected Poems, translated by David Curzon and Jeffery Fiskin

Born in 1340 over the next six decades of his life French poet Eustache Deschamps (also Morel) would be witness to a host of tragedies and strife. So perhaps one can understand the breaking from tradition by both content and form in his writing, composing most of his works on anything from everyday mundane topics to foreign lands, events and politics. His poetry paints a vivid picture of life with many all too relatable subjects (ever lend a book and never get it back?) and does attest to, as he advocated, the “natural music” to be found in such writing.

The Galloping Hour: French Poems by Alejandra Pizarnik, translated by Patricio Ferrari and Forrest Gander

Argentine poet Pizarnik spent several years in Paris, at one point renting an attic room compared by one of her friends as “Rimbaud’s drunken boat”. This change of scenery apparently did her good. Writing during this four-year period gaining her greater recognition specifically her collection The Tree of Diana in Spanish, like most of her published work. And after returning to Argentina, she would produce other famous works as well, leaving lasting contributions to Argentine poetry. But her French poems were not altogether forgotten. And taking a line from one of these poems is the title for this bilingual collection.

The Nomads, My Brothers, Go Out to Drink from the Big Dipper by Abdourahman A. Waberi, translated by Nancy Naomi Carlson

A prolific and distinguished poetic writer from Djibouti this is the first slim poetry collection from Abdourahman A. Waberi. Most of the poems composed during the 1990s, forming a book reflective of humanity’s beginnings, the longing of desert landscapes, and shifts of time. Altogether a purposely emotive collection, simply sensuous and intimate.

The Other Half of History: An Anthology of Francophone African Women's Poetry, edited and translated by Georgina Collins

Published in 2007 this is another attractive book devoted to shining a light on the African poetic traditions of women. Here are poems in a bilingual French/English format from 29 writers across 13 lands (Algeria, Benin, Burkino Faso, Cameroon, The Republic of Congo & Democratic Republic of Congo, Côte D’Ivoire, Egypt, Madagascar, Morocco, Réunion, Senegal, and Tunisia) dating as far back as the 1930s.

Papillons by Clémentine de Blanzat, English translations edited by Linda Lane

In 2004 I had the pleasure of meeting French poet Clémentine de Blanzat, who settled in the US, during the promotion of this her first bilingual poetry collection (save for one entitled Punctuation left in French). As her introduction reads poetry “is the translation of our emotions, our dreams, our pains, and our desires.” The poems can be summed up in just that way, and some like Love and Death with the closing line « Laisse-moi mourir d’Amour avec toi » / “ Let me love you to death tonight.” remain among the most memorable I’ve read.

The River in the Belly by Fiston Mwanza Mujila, translated by J. Bret Maney

With an oeuvre that is varied, besides short stories and plays, poetry is the form where Fiston Mwanza Mujila he began. A writer born in the far south of the Democratic Republic of Congo in this collection the Congo River, history, violence, exile, nature, man, and bible verses all saturate punchy, jazzy abraded ‘solitudes’ as quick but tugging as a single line or flowing across pages. With a complexity too, as much of Mujila’s writing, the back includes an assortment of notes. An especially helpful aid with the Lingala and Swahili spattered across the work.
