«A travers un verger, suivi de Les Cormorans et de Beauregard» is the poetry book by Philippe Jaccottet, published by Gallimard in paperback (99 pages).
«A travers un verger» is born of travel and walking: rural itineraries, reverie before place names, Romanesque sanctuaries of Roussillon, a Florence neighbourhood remembered by Montale and the veiled light of Holland. The walk becomes inner inquiry, with meticulous descriptions alternating exaltation and melancholy.
The three texts that make up «A travers un verger» were originally published in 1975, 1980 and 1981; this French edition is from 1984.
Philippe Jaccottet was a Swiss-born Francophone poet and translator.
