“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”

Beyond Economics

Poetry has been with me since I was twelve. This page opens a small window onto that enduring passion, through poems shared in their original French.

One poem is available in full; works with restricted access are presented only through authorized excerpts. All works and audio recordings are shared with my permission.
