Description
Yves Bonnefoy s book of poems, Beginning and End of the Snow followed by Where the Arrow Falls, combines two meditations in which the poet s thoughts and a landscape reflect each other. In the first, the wintry New England landscape he encountered while teaching at Williams College evokes the dance of atoms in the philosophical poem of Lucretius as well as the Christian doctrine of death and resurrection. In the second, Bonnefoy uses the luminous woods of Haute Provence as the setting for a parable of losing one s way.
