The first English translation of Yves Bonnefoy’s account of his life as a traveler.   The Wandering Life is a poetic culmination of Yves Bonnefoy’s wanderings and characterizes the final twenty-five years of his work. Bonnefoy was an ardent traveler throughout his life, and his journeys in foreign countries left a profound imprint on his work. The time he spent in Italy, translating Shakespeare’s work in England, in universities in the United States, in India with Octavio Paz, and more, affected his poetry in discernible ways and inspired The Wandering Life. Interweaving verse and prose―vignettes that range from a few lines in length to several pages―this volume is a fitting capstone to Bonnefoy’s oeuvre and appears in English translation for the first time to mark the centenary of Yves Bonnefoy’s birth.

Yves Bonnefoy (1923-2016) was a renowned French poet, critic, and professor emeritus of comparative poetics at Collège de France, Paris. He received several major international awards for his work, including the Prix mondial Cino Del Duca and the Franz Kafka Prize. In addition to poetry and literary criticism, he published numerous works on art history and translated into French several of Shakespeare's plays. Hoyt Rogers is the author of a poetry collection, Witnesses, and a volume of criticism, The Poetics of Inconstancy. He translates French, German, and Spanish.
