The Plural of Happiness: Selected Poems of Herman de Coninck

Herman de Coninck, Belgium’s leading poet for many decades, appears in English in a single volume for the first time. Witty, tender, trenchant, wise, de Coninck’s poems range from playful, terse love lyrics to darkly ironic, somberly truthful observations about human experience. Bosselaar and Brown, both fine poets in their own right, are skillful translators. .
