<b>Emmanuel Hocquard</b>, born in 1940, is one of the major poets of his
generation. His work is accessible to the first-time reader and exemplary
of the 'negative modernity' vein of contemporary poetics. He is the
founder of the small publishing house "Bureau sur l'Atlantique"
(where the focus is bringing modern American poetry into French) and the
primary organizer (for the fifteen years that it lasted) of the Royaumont
translation workshops which have been instrumental in opening up
dialogues between poets in France and many other countries. He is the
author of five books of poems (not counting the smaller ones) and a
massive (recently collected) series of short essays on poetry (Ma haie).
