One of the central figures from a remarkable generation of French-language poets, Pierre Chappuis has thus far only been represented in English translation in fragments: a few poems here and there in magazines, online reviews, and anthologies. Like Bits of Wind rights that wrong, offering a generous selection of Chappuis’s poetry and prose from the past forty years, drawn from several of his books. In these pages, Chappuis delves into long-standing questions of the essence of life, our relationship to landscape, the role of the perceiving self, and much more. His skeletal, haiku-like verse starkly contrasts with his more overtly poetic prose, which revels in sinuous lines and interpolated parentheticals. Together, the different forms are invigorating and exciting, the perfect introduction for English-language readers.

Pierre Chappuis

Pierre Chappuis (6 January 1930 – 22 December 2020) was a Swiss writer, poet, and literary critic. Chappuis was born on 6 January 1930 in Tavannes, where his father was a clockmaker. After studying in La-Chaux-de-Fonds and the University of Geneva, he began teaching French and history in Neuchâtel. He then lived there for the rest of his life. For a long time, Chappuis wrote poetry in the shadows. He combined his texts with engravings or photographs from third-party illustrators. He also worked as a literary critic for various newspapers, including the Gazette de Lausanne, the Nouvelle Revue Française, and La Quinzaine littéraire. Throughout his career, he closely kept his links with Romandy despite the large amount of works published in Paris. Pierre Chappuis died in Neuchâtel on 22 December 2020 at the age of 90
