Emmanuel Hocquard, 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).
