Poems

Alain-Fournier, the pseudonym of Henri-Alban Fournier, had a brief but significant literary career as the author of *Le Grand Meaulnes *(1913), which today is considered a classic of French literature. Killed during the First World War as an army lieutenant at the age of just twenty-seven, most of his writing was published posthumously, including his poems, essays, letters, and the notes on his second novel* Colombe Blanchet *which remained unfinished due to his untimely death. In this collection, the beloved French writer's poems are made available in English for the first time.
