Dear readers and subscribers, I am thrilled to introduce 3 new poets this week. Join me in welcoming the French poet Louis Aragon, the American poet Clark Ashton Smith, and the Russian poet Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov, along with an array of captivating new poems on our American, French, and Russian poetry pages.
Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961) remains an influential American writer and artist. He garnered early local recognition, with the support and enthusiasm of George Sterlinge. As a poet, Smith is celebrated as “The Last of the Great Romantics” and “The Bard of Auburn”. His work received high praise from his contemporaries.
Louis Aragon (1897-1982) remains a celebrated French poet, widely recognized as a leading figure in the surrealist movement in France. Alongside André Breton and Philippe Soupault, he co-founded the influential surrealist review Littérature. Notably, he was also known for his contributions as a novelist and editor, and from 1959 onwards, was regularly considered for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov (1795–1829) left an enduring legacy through his timeless comedy “Woe from Wit.” His remarkable contributions as an influential figure and visionary thinker greatly shaped the course of Russian cultural advancement.
In sharing these poetic treasures with you, I hope to kindle a love for poetry in diverse languages and to celebrate the incredible richness of world literature. Thank you for joining me on this enriching literary journey.
I hope you’ll find something to enjoy.
