Thursday's poetry discussions will be devoted to the work of Jean-Yves Masson.
Born in 1962 in Lorraine, he published his first poems in the NRF in 1986 and subsequently contributed to numerous journals, including Polyphonies, for which he produced his first translations in the late 1980s. He has authored five books of poetry, a novel, and literary essays, including a study of the Austrian poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal. He is currently a professor at Paris 4 Sorbonne, where he directs the Center for Research in Comparative Literature. His academic work focuses on modern poetry, from Romanticism to the contemporary period.
