"Both [Philippe] Jaccottet's and [Pierre-Albert] Jourdan's poetry is grounded in nature, yet it is far from being 'nature poetry.' It is not 'inspired' by nature the way some melancholy, idle observer watching a garden from behind a lace-curtained window might be. It is a poetry born out of the desire to cross the line between nature and the invisible beyond it." Daniela Hurezanu • Quarterly Conversation
