Cockerels and Vultures: French Poems of the First World War

2014 | Fiction & Poetry

Cockerels and Vultures is a book for everyone interested in the poetry of the First World War. For almost 90 years this outstanding French poet of the First World War was unknown in his own country. The chance finding of a slim and musty little volume of his poetry at a jumble sale in France in 2008 was a revelation to the finder. Granier was soon republished in France and astonished French readers. Though he is stylistically very different, some compare Granier with Guillaume Apollinaire. Granier stands comparison with the best of British war poets. Now English-speaking readers can encounter this remarkable talent through Ian Higgins' impressive translation.
