Guy Goffette
Guy Gofete (born 18 April 1947) is a Belgian-born poet and writer. Gofete published his first book of poems in 1969. Since then he has worked as an editor at the publishing company Gallimard. Gofete's poetry has been compared to Verlaine (of whom Gofete has written a fictional "biography") - the contemporary French poet Yves Bonnefoy remarked Gofete is an heir to Verlaine. A poet who very courageously has decided to remain faithful to his own personal life, in its humblest moments. He keeps things simple, he is marvelously able to capture the emotions and desires common to us all. Gofete is without question one of the best poets of the present moment in France. Gofete's short fiction (récits) often reimagine historic figures - the poet Paul Verlaine in ''Verlaine d'ardoise et de pluie'' (1995) and again in ''L'autre Verlaine'' (2007) or the painter Pierre Bonnard through his muse Marthe in ''Elle, par bonheur et toujours nue'' (published in English as ''Forever Nude'' in 200 ...

An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary or tertiary higher learning (and generally also research or honorary membership). The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, ''Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions into a method of teaching philosophy and in 387 BC, established what is known today as the Old Academy. By extension, ''academia'' has come to mean the acc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
