One of France’s most important post-‘68 poets, Claude Royet-Journoud developed a spare style that interrogates language through distillation, taking poetry beyond image and metaphor.

Royet-Journoud’s work has received many grants and awards, including the 2000 Grand Prix de Poésie de la Ville de Paris. In Theory of Prepositions, he charges the interstices of language with a vivid and compassionate force as he continues to explore the implications of the page-as-stage for a poetics of immanence.
