Jean Poncet
Jean Poncet was born in 1949 in Marseilles (France). He is the author of nine collections of verses (which have been translated into more than half a dozen languages). He is also the translator of numerous Romanian and English-speaking poets. In 1997 he was awarded the Lucian Blaga Prize for his contribution to the understanding of Romanian poetry in France. In 2016 he began working on the bilingual edition of Lucian Blaga’s complete poetical works.
