In After Prévert, the best poems from Prévert's landmark post-World- War-II collection Paroles come alive in Barbarese's snappy twenty-first-century American English. Like a good translator, Barbarese manages to convey the spirit of Pr?vert and his stark vision of the human condition, and like a good poet, Barbarese makes the poems new for our times.
