The writer Henri Thomas spoke of Follain as a poet \"qui parle d'autre chose\", who speaks of things outside himself; he admired his freedom from rhetoric. Follain's short, down-to-earth, subtle poems, many of which set out to preserve the lost rural world of his pre-war Norman childhood, have influenced a new generation of French poets. To anyone who still believes that modern French poetry is abstruse and over-cerebral, Follain's memorable poems are the answer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Follain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0856464201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780856464201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anvil Press Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Jean Follain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520302563583,"sku":"9780856464201","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_355737cd-12d9-411f-8127-3df93172d6da.jpg?v=1762884777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jean-follain-jean-follain-9780856464201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
