I had never heard of this poet, Kenny. Thank you for piquing my interest through your verses.
Francis Jammes (French pronunciation: [ʒam];[1] born 2 December 1868 in Tournay, Hautes-Pyrénées - died 1 November 1938 in Hasparren, Pyrénées-Atlantiques) was a French poet. Coming from an ancient family, he spent most of his life in his native region of Béarn and the Basque Country and his poems are known for their lyricism and for singing the pleasures of a humble country life (donkeys, maidens). His later poetry remained lyrical, but also included a strong religious element brought on by his "conversion" to Catholicism (more a return to the faith as he had always been a Catholic).
Early Works is an exhaustive compilation of the first decade of the poems and stories of Z.B.McClure. Included are family photos, rare personal photos, photos of 1st draft manuscripts of many of his early poems. Also some biography and memoir materia
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
